>Streaming piracy is “almost a crisis for the sports rights industry"
They need to look at their unbridled greed for a moment. Doubt if they ever will, though.
My elderly parents are sports fans, and the job of finding their teams' games has fallen to me, because it is too complicated for them.
They are too old to play the game of subscriber roulette- sub to a network's free trial just to watch one game this week, another service the next.
They are alienating fans by doing this. I suspect they vastly underestimate how many. But the deals are too lucrative for them to resist. So they just let the rot persist.
The easiest solution by far for someone in my situation- the only person in the family comfortable with tech- is set them up with some popular piracy sites.
This is a problem of their own invention.

I couldn't find any formula in the article. Can i sue the store because, not giving me the porn movie for free, will cause me losses ?
Or can Comcast sue me because i don't buy Sky and cost them some dollars of revenue ?
