    This is what happens when you give mediocre rugby journalists positions in public relations.

    SuperSport previously explained that they have exclusive Internet rights in South Africa for the 2012 Olympic Games
    That bold part made me lol, quote of the year.

In terms of copyright law, any unauthorized viewing of the material in South Africa coming from another source would infringe on their rights.

    Similar reason for why Netflix, Hulu and iTunes are not easily available in South Africa.

    It sucks...
    Sorry, but you are just wrong. Maybe you meant any unauthorised streaming (serving) in South Africa, but "viewing" is not the right word here.

    Wake up MultiChoice....your choices, content and pricing is not favoured by multiple citizens!

    Except for Zim that is...

    Leaves a bitter taste in my mouth when somebody exploits a monopoly in order to enrich him/her/itself at the expense of the rest of the country.

    That's the madness of it. Its not the content that is illegal, its the origin of the content that they are saying is illegal.

    I wonder if they realise how much they sound like China when they say this.

    Hmmm, seems IOL is trying to treading on the IOC's/ Multichoice's turf with an Olympic Youtube video: http://www.iol.co.za/sport/athletics...gold-1.1359885
