The only time the whole of Middlesbrough would cheer on Leeds.

That was the 'invasion of Bournemouth'. They had fans sleeping on the beach etc. A classic 'Leeds would take more' 😂

FACT (federation against copyright theft) is currently working with Internet service providers to figure out how users could be prosecuted. Clearly proving someone watched an illegal stream is quite hard to do. The burden of proof is high compared to the return. However in the future, I'd expect Sky, Netflix, Amazon, BT, Spotify, Youtube etc to take action against users whose details are discovered when some of the pirates are busted.

Copyright theft was codified in 1988, when it became a criminal offence as well as a civil offence.

I was quite the expert in cracking satellite and cable channels when I lived in Paris having the equipment to download and write my own decoder routines using a card writer.

It was a game of cat and mouse, having to circumnavigate any new measures being implented by Sky/Canalsat and the Arab channels (I had a multi-LNB dish).

The Pirate scene was part of the establishment in France with its own magazines in mainstream newsagent chains (eg Relais and even the Paris WH Smith) and user groups all over the Internet. This has a lot to do with the French "interdit d'interdire" attitude which saw non-smokers sparking up on the Metro, the day the no smoking signs went up.

The general feeling on the forums was that the sat broadcasters technology was a challenge.

Eventually Sky came up with the uncrackable D2MAC encryption so it was game over for card writing.

I still feel its the companies problem if they don't have the technology to lock down certain frequencies which are in the public domain and then try to sell those bandwidths.

I'm still bitter about getting busted by a joint operation by the Home Office, BT and the police because I was operating a powerful DX CB rig from my car.

This is England, the land of illegal dancing and radio broadcast.

Completely understandable situation given their manager was saying they were on the brink of it being postponed and they were repeatedly testing for more Covid cases.

It's happened repeatedly in the last few days, you only have to look at Newcastle.
They got their game postponed tomorrow because of injuries and a suspension, with Covid playing virtually no part.

Fair play to Blackpool for ensuring it went ahead, many teams would have gamed the system.
 
strange that they are watering the pitch so much, they had torrential rain for a big part of the day
