Comments on: Will Justin.tv Destroy Sports TV Rights Deals? http://cyberlaw.org.uk/2008/12/03/will-justintv-destroy-sports-tv-rights-deals/ A news resource for CyberLaw and Cyber-Rights issues from around the globe Wed, 21 Jul 2010 14:29:57 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: T.K.U http://cyberlaw.org.uk/2008/12/03/will-justintv-destroy-sports-tv-rights-deals/comment-page-1/#comment-5297 T.K.U Wed, 14 Jan 2009 13:19:37 +0000 http://cyberlaw.org.uk/?p=1134#comment-5297 I agree with this in a few respects. I agree that it is utterly ridiculous that the EPL WITHHOLD games from the public in the United Kingdom. I mean, it is absolutely absurd to think that in Australia, half way around the globe, they get better sports packages for EPL than us here in the UK. It's almost offensive to be honest, and there'd be a LOT of money to be made from a complete sports package in the UK. Sod this Sentanta and Sky rubbish, (which may I add will cost you a lot and still not provide every game) why not have an all inclusive channel subset for the premier league games. The main point being, like this article points out, if the public had the opportunity to have all the games even perhaps in HD on proper TV screens with proper TV signal, this would beat justin.tv anyday, but until the EPL sort out their business strategy, people will continue to use justin.tv with the view of "I know it's shit but all I really care about is catching the game" as right now in the UK it is ONE OF THE ONLY ways to watch every EPL game. Isn't that wrong in its own right? I agree with this in a few respects. I agree that it is utterly ridiculous that the EPL WITHHOLD games from the public in the United Kingdom.
