Elliottman Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 Are we sure these guys are as rich as they say if they're using a snide feed to watch the games? They don't already own my local do they? Aye I was thinking about that, why would they need to Pirate? We've only heard one side of the story, I'm sure there's more to it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Jinx Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 It’ll all be approved already. With the media shitstorm happening right now they might just be biding their time of when it the best time to make an announcement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because Bein own the rights for whole middle east region, so only they will have access to the broadcasts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets just forget the UK is on lockdown etc. It’s a shame this didn’t happen a few weeks earlier as the media were all over the coronavirus 24/7.. I think they and people generally too are quite exhausted with it at this point. Now there’s basically fuck all else going on that people can vent about.

Ankles Bennett Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 BEin sport accuse SA of allowing a pirate station to broadcast sports in the Middle East, where BEin holds a monopoly. It may be that as the 80% owner of an EPL team, the Saudi's could be in pole position to buy the rights to broadcast the EPL matches in the Middle East, and that may be the real reason why BEin are trying to stop the takeover. Seems to me BEin Sports needs to invest in cutting edge technology, as the EPL has done, in order to curtail any piracy of their broadcasts. Its not like they cant afford the technology.

BlueStar Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 BeIN have asked the Premier League in its owners' and directors' test to consider "the direct role of Saudi Arabia" in the beoutQ service, the challenge the Premier League faces in "taking any action to protect its own intellectual property rights in the country" and its ability to "enforce" its rules against "Saudi Arabian based persons or entities". Can't even get anyone to give a fuck about the direct role of Saudi Arabia in 9/11 or the murder of journalists man, why would this be different?
