It's a copyrighted material, right? So offering it - and charging for it - without a license is illegal. That's all.

If other sites offer copyrighted material - and charge for this material - without proper consent from the copyright owners then they have to be sured.

What are you implying? They shouldn't?

It doesn't matter. It's still illegal, even if you are not caught.

The UFC is targeting sites streaming their pay-per-views live, there's a few big sites that according to them if they take down, will be worth it in the extra buys they gain.

Breach Copyright = Get Sued

They know they're breaking the law so they deserve everything they get from doing so.

Sorry - but just because it's the first time someone does something illegal, why should the authorities treat you any different?


FTA, the second paragraph states that the activity is illegal - this appears to be black and white.
