Theoretically speaking... couldn't a startup mimic Uber?
An app that I can find someone who has their cellphone pointing at their screen LIVE with a game on... and I pay that person pennies to watch it.
AFAIK there is some sort of a loophole that re-brodcasting even live show by recording it off of your screen (showing TV frame etc) is not illegal.
Am I wrong?
- kabes 10y agoLoophole's gonna get closed as soon as such service would gain traction. You don't want to rely your business on that
- joering2 10y agoyou right! I mean better not to learn Uber lesson :)
- pixelp3 10y agoyou are basically talking about all the streams you can find on the internet. And yes they are illegal - they are often taken down
- ascagnel_ 10y agoTickets to professional sporting events have provisions stating you can be ejected for recording the event. While these are basically never enforced, I could see trying to stream the entire game be a good reason for the venue to start enforcing it. Similarly, the broadcasts of sporting events have a disclaimer saying you can't rebroadcast or retransmit it in any way, but I have no idea if that is legally binding.
