That's an interesting point, I remember they were in favour of sending 'cease and desist' letters rather than legal action a couple of years ago. One wonders if he received one and ignored it or if the scale of the operation lead straight to litigation?

You want to hope they never make crimes against fashion punishable by law.

I wonder if this is going to make folk think twice about posting links to illegal streams? On fanatics you had players giving links, as well as admin. Or is this a different issue?

Also folks promoting boxes that you can buy that enable you to watch sky and bt for free. Clamp down on all this stuff as well?

Why do the words 'I'll tarmac the whole driveway for £50' pop into my head when I see that photo?

I wonder if they've started to go after these kinds of things as a site full of rugby videos to subscribe to has recently disappeared too.

He never picked up the soaps. Was mainly darts, snooker, footy and some John Peel sessions.

Basgooner was a complete an utter fool making such a public business of selling copyrighted material , and for doing it for so long . No sympathy at all for a jail sentence, sheer stupidity.

Maybe he thought that it didn't matter and they would never go after him, after all Ed Sheeran has been passing off other people's songs as his for years with no jail time! :grin:
