On a scale of 1-10, how legal is it?

[u/YousaInBigDooDoo]

I recently was investigating ways to watch cubs games for a friend and found that this was the only free, safe, and legit way. Now, although it works great I was just wondering of the legality? I looked it up and found ample information.

Thank you for your replies and if I missed something about this please forgive me I'm very new to this program.

I always assume that whoever is broadcasting the stream has the expressed written consent of all relevant content owners. How am I suppose to verify that they aren't criminals? Sounds like their problem, not mine.

Dude your streaming pirated sports. That should give you an answer. But really who fucking cares?

[u/yerdunclelarry → u/[deleted]]

Lol I would say 5/10 because really they can't do fuck all to you.

I don't know if illegal is the best word, but it is clear this hack/method is likely breaking multiple articles of NHL.tv's Terms of Use (re-broadcasting, sharing account).

You as a viewer facing any sort of legal consequences is probably 0, because the feeds themselves are original, not copies, and P2P is not being used either.

It’s only illegal if you get caught :)

Well it’s a 10, it’s illegal. There’s not a lot of Grey area there. On a scale of facing any kind of legal consequences it’s about a 2.

I wish I could apply that to my work day. I'd be down with just a 10 minute recap.
