I'm sorry, exactly what law is that?

"Bypassing geo-restrictions is against the Terms of Service of most streaming sites, but violating a TOS is NOT an illegal act."

Do some research.


You’re also short-changing the club by £10-12 a match given that you’re watching it via VPN rather than purchasing a match ticket and watching it at BP. You should donate the difference to the club every time.

Ultimately each to their own and no one would be having a pop at you about this if you weren’t going around telling people they aren’t true fans.


Up The Mariners!

It violates the terms of service so you are liable to get your account banned, especially if you admit doing so on a public forum.

Can’t we just ban him from the Fishy as punishment?

God that man is thick,he doesn't realise when he is an hole he should stop digging.


Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day,teach a man to fish and you give him an excuse for him to escape from the wife and kids for the weekend and drink lots of beer.

Quoted from 140381
Copyright law protects the initial transmission of the game. The angles of the cameras, the production, the skill of the cameramen/women. As soon as that is recorded it’s protected as a work of copyright.

Unlawfully replicating or reproducing that is copyright infringement,

They’re more likely to go for the people who are selling the fire sticks, but don’t pretend you’re a beacon of virtue on this.


It is not illegal to watch it.  If someone else wants to sell firesticks, what is that to do with me, I watch it via a VPN.  That is not illegal!  Makes me laugh at all you 'holier than thou' people, clutching at straws to find something else to have a go at me.

Quoted from GrimRob


Nobody is criticising you but many people would regarding stopping going to games and watching on tv as not full support. A lot of people are threatening to do just that. Next season incidentally will see better tv coverage with multiple camera angles and dedicated commentary in many EFL games. The legacy supporter who travels to every game is an endangered species.


Do you not understand that I cannot go to games due to my disabilities?  I would love to go to BP to watch every home game, and also go to away games too, but I cannot.

Can you not read? I don't give a toss about you and am making a general point.

Quoted from arryarryarry


So you fiddle the system by masking you are living in the UK to gain access to what should be for overseas supporters.

So much for your high and mighty bull excrement you spout on  here.


Grow up.  What have I fiddled?  Have I stolen anything, have I hurt anyone?  No, I am simply using a loophole in the system that allows people like me who cannot get to games, to be able to watch them on TV.  I don't use a dodgy firestick which have been sold by a certain person on here, I didn't see you questioning him about that, which is illegal.
