Live sports TV streaming sites seized by Homeland Security

[many a good man]

I went to my two favorite sites to watch live European football today and they were both shut down by DHS for copyright violations. They are http://www.firstrow.net and http://www.atdhe.net/.

Is this happening to other Live TV sites on the internet, too? Does anybody have links that work?

1. Damn EPL to blame

The whole site gets shut down, not just English Premier League games.

5. They shut down dot com and dot net sites

because they're United States companies that run them.

That's all they can do because live streaming has been OK'ed by courts in other countries---Spain---Israel... because of fair use.

What Homeland Security did was shut these sites down without due process.

3. Heard about this earlier in the week

posted in G.D., I think. Not surprised they were shut down -- live streaming is competition for cable and subscription TV providers.

Why the fuck is DHS involved?

4. Homeland Security is policing copyright violations now?

Does that seem wrong to anyone else but me?
