Fail

It’s a global event, and the whole world is interested. Free full coverage is the least they can do. (I’m paying ridiculous amounts of tax money for these games for a reason, aren’t I?).

And guess what, BT just happens to be a decent way to spread content…

@93
I found that quite entertaining. =)
I hate youtube and I like shotguns. I have no French blood in me either. Vancouver, B.C. (where the games are being held) is wonderful and beautiful city.

can u guys email me

The small print on the disclaimer page reads,

“The Olympics Logo and all 2010 Vancouver graphics are trademarks of IOC™ This site is not affiliated with the IOC™ or the VANOC™ We index videos from a variety of sources, if you find your content on here you can contact us to have it removed.”

It seems like there is an OFFICIAL LIVE streaming of ALL EVENTS available, FOR FREE:

http://watchvancouverolympics.com/

Now, this site has all the official logos and stuff, so I hope it really works because there are hardly any broadcasts of the WINTER olympics in Asia.

Having said that – what options do I have to view the Olympics on my computer? None – except the one that others have deemed illegal.

Go figure.

“Stupid suits; I hope this blows up in your face and ends your careers.”

The suits are floating above this entire thing making meetings and pronouncement while taking huge salaries and thumbing their noses at you while they earn more in a month than you do in an entire year while you sit here posting rubbish unpaid.

And “they”re the ones” who are stupid.

lol
Pirates crack me up.

The technology already has been released and the “pirates” are just lazy enough to make them a fortune

Release the “official” Hi Def version of the events in FULL hd on a bittorrent network (including commercials).

What will happen?
Will some one REALLY want to spend time and money tryinging to re-code a HD signal or is it easier to download the one that the networks provide in HD event if you have to watch a few commercials.

Its a NO brainer!

Congratulations NBC for sealing an expensive deal to be the official broadcaster of the 2010 Olympics. Not sure it makes sense that they don’t want anyone to see it.

Stupid suits; I hope this blows up in your face and ends your careers.

unplug yourself please, stupid robot. i cant even be mad at your nonsense, as you dont mean to be retarded, you re just programmed that way. twat.

nearly everyone posting here has something legitimate to say here, except you. you have no idea of what you speak, and seem only concerned with preserving ‘the old ways’ (read: broke a$$ system of stealing money with high priced monopolies and outrageous fees and prices whilst bombarding consumers, whom are supposed to be served by these providers of goods and services, with crappy products and advertisements while not giving them what they truly want and deserve: good products with reasonable prices).

raisin brain is a moron, and proves it every time her hands touch a keyboard…

trolls should be banned or fired. (from a canon ^_^)

Thye do not own the Olympics and to have the audacity to enforce a copyright infringement policy on something that attempts to bring the world together is absurd.

An Olympic tax?…you moron, of course events like this always is funded by the taxpayer. Probably even more so than any contribution from a corporation. So please show some intelligence before saying something so inane?

But it hasn’t too many english speaking TV stations.

When there is no precious fuel, Pirates will be stranded

You get more traffic, and don’t have to worry about people doing pirate streams.

Seriously though, who the hell even cares about the olympics any more?

With all the DRM crap and protection and prevention and broadcast flags, it’s enough for a person to get a HD camera for 1000$ and a 50$ tripod and aim the camera at a 26-30″ LCD screen and you have better quality than their Ustream or Hulu streams.

Or just use a Blackmagic hdmi card or a tv tuner to get recordings over the air.

Interviewer: Have you had a lobotomy in the last 2 years

Interviewee: Yes sir, only last week.

Interviewer: would you be willing to say whatever I tell you (whether right or wrong)

Interviewee: Of course

Interviewer: great: You now appointed CEO of our company. Also please ignore these ‘Pirates’ they are only trying to take money out out of our and Lawyers pockets. They live in a fantasy world.

Long live money

Would you willingly pay an Olympic tax on top of your cable charges to receive the games with no corporate involvement? All of sports, amateur and professional is corporate supported. Surely you all must know that. The areas, the fields, the teams themselves. Do you REALLY want to offload those yearly costs directly on to the consumer now?

if you say yes, I think you are crazy. I don’t want to pay more taxes.

But the money that funds the staging of all these sporting events has to come from somewhere, right? If not NBC for the Olympics, then where?

There is no reason to worry about 3rd party ‘pirated’ streams when everybody can just go to the ‘official’ stream and watch it for free (People dont care about moderate advertising, look at HULU).

This is all a big excuse to not offer good service anymore, and to encourage people to use an absolute god awful horrible service called DIGITAL CABLE.

Watching streams and individual shows makes advertising tough because people no longer tune into stations and accept whatever is appearing on there screen, paying whatever is needed and buying into whatever they see and being raped every way possible.

WHO THE F*CK PAYS TO WATCH ADVERTISING?

Digital Cable should be 100% free, based off the fact that you watch more ads then actual TV. Perhaps a ‘install fee’ is reasonable but monthly fees is out of the question.

And thats what the internet does, it gives you f*cking everything you want and says F*CK YOU to the assholes who make an awful product and expect you to like it.

The internet WILL be the only gateway to communication.

FIGURE OUT HOW TO MAKE MONEY AND OFFER A SUPERIOR SERVICE. THIS IS NOT THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE CONSUMER. STOP. F*CKING. WHINING. IF YOU CANT DO IT F*CK OFF. YOU ARE ALL LAZY F*CKS YOU CANNOT ADAPT TO SAVE YOUR LIFE.

The sheer thought of punishing someone for pushing the envelope is unimaginable, it is the most pathetic display of corporate greed and control. THIS IS ENTERTAINMENT! NOT OIL! There is more job opportunities than EVER BEFORE BECAUSE OF ‘PIRACY’. But the rich ‘few’ stomp out all windows and claim they are being wronged.

The Customer is ALWAYS right.

DO.
NOT.
STOP.
DOWNLOADING.

how can it happen a society with no copyright invented quite nicely

yet here we have a bunch a greedy suits again telling people that its alllll about money again

SO TO YOU I SAY suffer were pirating you to death

you abuse copyrights we grant you from society and its so bad in the USA that as the rest of the world wakes up and realizes that reducing terms will benefit there country your going to be stuck right in the butts like you should be

cant wait to see the IOC president get a pie in the face

NBC… LoL….. Everyone will download the BBC coverage. NO adds , NO

NBC… LoL….. Everyone will download the BBC coverage. NO adds , NO interuptions

Okay. So the Olympics should be in high quality and freely available online. In this case NBC paid a huge fee for the commercial rights to broadcast the games, and it’s that huge fee that is actually paying to STAGE the games in the first place.

So if you remove the financial return on investment and the investment doesn’t get made the next time–or, perhaps, the rights sell for a much lower price because that price can no longer be recouped because you say ” that’s the way it should be.”……then how would you fund and produce future Olympics instead?

Everyone here knows full well anything of interest will be ripped in high quality and put online for everyone to grab freely, and there won’t be a damn thing they can do about it. And that’s the way it should be.

Something Zod said that made a lot of sense to me.

http://www.tv.com/smallville/disciple/episode/1309005/trivia.html?tag=cast_summary;trivia#quotes

This is under Quotes section on that site.

Zod: The apple is such a plain yet fascinating fruit.

Clark: What are you doing here?

—>Zod: You know, it was the apple that launched the Trojan War, one of the great epic battles of all time. And, in many religions here, it’s the apple’s fall from the Tree of Knowledge that represents the fall of Man. Now, I found that story quite interesting because it so aptly illustrates how humans hoard knowledge. Whereas our own Kryptonian religion… now, that teaches knowledge should be shared… by all.<—

Clark: I'm sure you didn't come here for a Sunday school lesson. What do you want?
