Pondering finding some sort of pirate streams of #WorldCup matches so I can have it on in the background some days, without boosting Qatar's viewership.
Would help if I'd pirated much of anything in the last 10-15 years though 🤣
Also, pirating live stuff presumably much harder than pirating discrete vids.
Worst case I guess I just see if BBC still doing free audio-only streaming (fka "radio"), or follow hashtags here or on that other place 🙃
@bitprophet Do you have a VPN? In Australia we have https://www.sbs.com.au/ondemand/ make a free account and go for it.
@bitprophet Every match is there and can watch delayed.. That might not register?
@jellycrystals For sure, but I don't care enough to watch when it's not live 😂 otherwise, yea, just checking highlight reels etc afterwards is the right play.
Resurrected my BBC account + using Tailscale exit node in a LON VPN.
@bitprophet Solid. Funny that I could stream pirated Eurovison with ease but WC Soccer... Near tumbleweeds.. Haha
@jellycrystals I used to do something similar with a VPN and BBC, might give this a shot. May still boost viewership numbers but eh. Thanks!
