BoxRec

No. Read the rules.

We've had 2 topics regarding this already tonight. Any more and I won't just send a friendly PM, I'll issue warnings.

How about legal streams? For example, I heard after the event that the official website of a foreign TV channel was simultaneously broadcasting the fight online. So this was not a "hijacked" stream, it was an alternative broadcast method of a legal TV channel that had bought the rights to the fight. Obviously Primetime wouldn't thank anybody for sharing the link, but it wouldn't cause any legal trouble for BoxRec, would it?

(Please don't warn me or whatever - I respect the rules but I think this a fair question)

I'd guess it's as legal as the 3pm kick offs being shown through Albanian TV in a pub on a saturday. Zog TV have legally bought the rights, but there's a disagreement over whether UK subscribers are entitled to view it. There's currently a case going through the courts where a landlady from somewhere near Portsmouth I think is taking Sky to court for her right to show such broadcasts. If the courts find in her favour, it could bring the whole structure of subscription TV down.

If it's legal for British and Irish residents, it's OK, I believe. You'd have to get confirmation from one of the admins, though, as I can't say for sure.

Correct.
