FU Clinton, FU!“In a word – illegal, illegal, illegal,” said van der Berg in response to questions about the legality of widely available live streaming websites in other countries, and South Africans using these websites for Olympics streaming.

Supersport can go jump off a bridge!
Illegal is a strong word. They could potentially sue the person offering the streams, but they would have absolutely no claim against you for watching it.
That's like saying that you're not allowed to go over to someone's house to watch the olympics.
Screw them and their monopoly, nobody is going to go and subscribe to DSTV after reading this article, so their scaremongering is only showing them in a bad light.

Hahahahaha! Van der Berg would have been more accurate saying it's "not cool" and they're losing a lot of potential advertising revenue than trying to claim it's "illegal".
Legal = Law
Olympic broadcast and franchising agreements <> Law
-Olympic broadcast and franchising agreements <> Illegal

Chop...
Telkom, Neotel, ICASA and the DoC are national embarrassments.
We will not be silent.
"exclusive Internet rights"

A monopoly on the internet... go suck donkey balls, Mr Van der Berg.
lol
he is funny!!!
Ignoring the Consumer Protection Act and not unbundling DSTV services?
In a word - illegal, illegal, illegal
Itty bitty little cuddly bunnies... the other, other white meat
Ummm, no its not illegal Clinton my boy.
When you've learnt the difference between stopping other people PROVIDING a service in a country, and your potential customers consuming said service... then we can talk.
I hope MyBB actually does a follow up on this one to show Clinton how he is being a complete idiot.
Why doesn't DSTV just provide free streaming and pop in a few ads.

Prove it, sue us or stfu.However, van der Berg said that that these unofficial streaming websites are not legal. He added that using these sites to watch the 2012 London Olympic Games live is also illegal.

My standard response to this sort of crap should suffice here...

The SABC show the same content and I pay a TV license.
