Just to be clear, the legal option that the Sharks/NHL are providing tonight is okay, right?
Yes. That one is fine because it's legal. As would something like NHL Live or whatever if we were in the middle of the season and it was providing streams of the games.
What's not fine is linking to assorted shifty independent sites that are sharing links to streams (or providing the streams themselves) where it's some dude on his computer with legit access to the legal stream and sharing it with others without official league consent.
I don't really care if people want to go watch illegal streams or whatever on their own. all I care about is that they don't advocate it or link it here on HF where the site might get in trouble.
