The one I use is still up ; )

Have to agree with all comments on here, including Neil Young.

Very informative, thanks Isaac.

I'm for these free pirated live streams, in a way that it exposes the sports to a wider audience that otherwise wouldn't of bothered to watch it.

EG: I have a number of friends who i would say are casual NBA fans, they watch those feeds. But now they are (mostly) gone they won't watch NBA. I'm sure they will check scores but it will be a case of out of sight out of mind, and give it a few months and they will go back to asking if Shaq still plays.
Yes there is League pass, which i LOVE! But i'm a basketball junkie. I watch it, i play it, i talk about it all day every day. I'll pay $100, 200, 500, 5,000 to watch basketball. They wont. In Australia it wouldn't matter so much if the NBA was on FTA again.

As far as the NBL live feeds go, like the music industry, the league has to grow and evolve with the times. It's no longer 1995, fans can't wait till the next day to see on their local news report if their team won or lost. They want it now and with the Internet they can get it now, whether its free via a pirated feed or the league sets up its own league pass (or live tv). Live feeds are C grade quality most of the time, but it's a means to a end.. But I don't want everyone to talk about the NBL & TV coverage again.. *Dead horse*

In saying all of that - I also agree with the FBI seizing these sites, it is against the law.. For the moment. But maybe every league should look at why they are so popular. Is it because it's free? Is it because they can watch their favorite sport/league no matter what country they're in? Etc.

I've had to many Red Bulls..
