They may be successful in punishing those who show the feeds to audiences, but there is little to no chance of them successfully removing all of the feeds of the game from the Internet.

The real question is: Why not show the game? They could have televised it for sure without having to buy all those seats at $.34 ea. It was only a handful empty. Something stinks here, because no way this game should have been blacked out. Somebody is playing games with us. I can buy the no free agents, or the lowest payroll, low cost Coach & GM, but this one one “I ain’t buying”. This one really stinks and the Glazers or the NFL need to own up to it. I hope the Big Dog and Florio air it out today. Somebody in Tampa is a “Big Fat Liar”.

Not folks you wanna mess with.

This internet feed law is still developing, but rest assured the big boys will come out on top.

It was just a matter of time before the NFL succumbed what the RIAA, MPAA, and various other organizations have been dealing with for a decade. I’m actually shocked that it took this long. I’m even more shocked that these games aren’t easily available in a quality 720p download like movies and TV shows are.

The NFL will go after the public places like bars that show their broadcast to a group, but they will in no way win (and most likely not even fight) the multitude of websites who offer the streams. It’s a battle they just can’t win.

Joe takes no pride or joy in bouncing loyal readers. Radio Mushmouth has been with Joe since the early days and Joe may let him return (after the season), despite how he threatened Joe and that he did his best to run off Steve White.

Javier should have known better. He tried to get around Joe’s implicit instructions not to post the URLs of these sites — Joe could care less if anyone watched NFL football on these sites 24/7, Joe’s just not going to put up with the hassles of promoting said sites. It’s not worth it to Joe.

Joe got rid of Radio Mushmouth for putting those URLs in code, just like Javier did. Therefore, like Radio Mushmouth, so too did Javier have to go.

Real smart. You just got yourself banned.

Say hello to Radio Mushmouth. He got bounced for the very same thing.

Anyone else want to play games and try to post those URLs in code, feel free. Just be prepared to suffer the consequences.

People seem to forget that the broadcast of an NFL game is not the public’s property because it is broadcast on the public airwaves. Those are authorized broadcasts by the NFL. To obtain authorization, one has to cut a check. A mighty big check in fact.

This disclaimer is broadcast on every NFL game.

Joe was discussing this very point about child porn and watching unauthorized NFL games with various members of the local fourth estate Sunday. No one knew, which is one of the reasons Joe wrote the story.

Joe will offer his PayPal account so you can fund Joe’s legal fees when the NFL comes after Joe for promoting illegally transmitted steams of Bucs blacked out games.

Joe doesn’t have the budget to have high profile legal teams on retainer like the St. Petersburg Times or Media General, to name a few.

Of course, you can always start your own blog and link to all of these underground feeds to your heart’s content. The only establishment Joe knows of was the one highlighted in the Tampa Tribune and on WFLA-TV. Maybe you missed it, but Joe’s a little busy on game days than to hunt for bars with the pirated feeds.

These feeds can be easily found by using Google. So this notion that Joe is somehow depriving people of watching the game is simply ridiculous.

Joe doesn’t offer the addresses and numbers of local pot salesmen nor the best hookers in Tampa either. As a result, Joe isn’t depriving anyone from getting high or laid.
