where can i watch the masters live *NO LINKS TO STREAMING SITES*

Re: where can i watch the masters live

Never fails to amaze me how some threads start out with a simple request but just whoosh off somewhere else , this will be reply 100 , i wonder if the mods took out the non relevant ones what number would it be ...
 
Re: where can i watch the masters live

It's a little sad seeing so many have a go at LP. He has a right to make his point, and it's a valid one.

All this "it's okay to stream it cos I wasn't going to buy it anyway". If I turned up at your golf club and had a few holes just before sunset that's okay right - because if I had to pay I wouldn't have played anyway. Think you all might have a somewhat different view of that...

I think sports companies have a long way to go in countering online piracy, and it starts with offering a more affordable package. The movie industry has adapted via companies such as Netflix, so what once was a £20 trip to see a film with the family at the cinema is now a ~£5 subscription. It's now more convenient to pay the subscription than seek out a bootleg DVD.

As for the bloke that compared it to pirating software, don't impose your morals on others thanks. Knowing the hard work gone in to creating such software I would either pay for it or find a free (legal) alternative program.

But the personal attacks on LP really are pathetic and reminds me of playground bullying.

The OP asked where he could watch the Masters,he didn't ask to be judged. If you don't agree with something there's always the option of not commenting on it.

Correct, because they are not comparable, at all.

Would a thread asking the best way to sneak onto the local course without having to pay fees also be met with non-judgmental replies?
 
Re: where can i watch the masters live

If there are x thousands streaming illegally that might mean the difference to me paying the current £75/mth dropping to £74/mth if the majority of them subscribed.

What should my reaction be if someone dipped into my pocket once a year and took £12 off me? What would you illegal streamers feel if someone dipped into your pocket and took £12?

Stream away if you wish but it doesn't stop me thinking of you as a thief.

No because that is actually breaking the law.

Watching an internet stream is not.

Because they aren't, one is illegal, the other isn't. The fact that you find something morally wrong does not make it a criminal act. It's a bit like people farting in lifts, not that pleasant but certainly not illegal.
 
Re: where can i watch the masters live

I occasionally use streams to watch things that I can't get otherwise.. I do feel incredibly guilty about it afterwards though..:whistle:

The only illegal thing about using a golf course without paying for it is tresspass, and that's not illegal, it's unlawful. The police won't give a stuff, and only the owner of the land can complain.

That wouldn't be streaming - that would be getting the pictures via a satellite from foreign broadcasters - think it cost around £600 a year which is a good deal cheaper than getting the sky license to broadcast in a public place
 
Re: where can i watch the masters live

Maybe we can have a thread that lists all the stuff that may be slightly immoral, but isn't illegal..:whistle:
