[Albion] NSC Twitter Suspended

[Nottseagull]

The PL/Sky/BT seemed to have really upped the ante just now in eliminating the slightest whiff of a video, commentary, etc.

So are the days of the pirate streams numbered?

Two wrongs, etc

So if you paid a fortune for the broadcast rights and your customers were prepared to pay a lot of money to watch it, you’d be happy for some of the biggest social media firms to broadcast it without your permission for free,??

Yes, they must be really thankful that there are no free streams available on match days, eh?

I don’t bother with that, nothing moralistic, but I watch too much football already!

It wouldn’t be surprising would it? They’ll go after the promoters of the routes, using their usual trick of posing as an interested punter.

Routes?

 

[GT49er]

Twitter Suspended

TBH, if that was your entire post, my reaction would be, "Yeh, not a bad idea"........................

 

[Weststander]

Routes?

As in methods, providers.

Probably not. Getting twitter to suspend accounts sharing clips is far easier than shutting down sites streaming matches.

Football streaming tends to be cyclical, when the options and quality dip there'll inevitably be new sites coming along to raise the standard, then those get shut down and the cycle starts again.

The Comsec scout spotting programme is managed by Football Data Co in collaboration with the league and its clubs," said an EFL spokesman.
Access is provided at matches for Comsec representatives to operate and identify potential infringements.

Bozza got his old fella out, if that isn't bad enough, Giraffe was holding it. Nothing to see here... literally.

I do agree with you and I'm not condoning this behaviour, but yesterday the game was widely viewable on-line with a pretty simple search. If the powers at be really want to stop this sort of thing they need to do something about being able to easily access the whole game on-line via a couple of clicks rather than jumping on a tiny bit of Twitter footage.

Even worse - whilst NSC's twitter account was being cut-off at the knees, the kids were thrashing me at Uno.

A quick read suggests there is little hope of getting it back. Somewhat ironic that I think today is the first day I've been on twitter since May and this happens. I could create another account or I could just give it up. Like Facebook, I consider twitter to be mostly utterly shit.

You could always start a new account entitled #ITKTITTLETATTLE

Whenever a stream had a dam built, there's always another underground that pops up

The NFL worked with the big social media companies to shut down unlicensed content a few years ago with great success. Seems like the Premier League are now doing the same.

Like it or not, when you are able to charge millions for your product, you will want to do all you can to protect your investment.

Not if those magnificent Russians have anything to say about it.

One of the reasons I’ve stopped blogging and left the twitter dormant. When I first started Twitter was an excellent platform where you had to work hard to get meaning in to a limited set of characters. Now it’s full of kids and trolls and about as interesting as a night in with CPFC G.

We've had our secondary Facebook page suspended for apparently pretending to be someone we're not, go figure, the page is almost 9 years old.
I'm sick of contacting them now, the Facebook gestapo have spoken and there's bugger all you can do about it.

I assume there's no appeals process for this?

Interesting how the likes of Sky, and the clubs etc, often use fan videos from the stands in adverts etc.

If you are live streaming the game, fair enough. If you are making detailed highlights packages, fair enough. If you are uploading shitty mobile phone footage of goals, players celebrating etc, then shutting it down is a nonsense.
