Reminder: It’s Really Easy to Pirate TV. Even Live Sports.

The fact that it’s easy to get pirated TV, delivered over the Internet, isn’t new. Still, it’s always worth pointing out just how easy it has become.

It’s particularly important when it comes to live sports, because that’s supposed to be the one thing that keeps everyone — or many people, at least — paying (a lot) for cable. I’d be surprised if the Knicks game looked very good on a big screen TV — when I tried it on my MacBook, it was pretty blurry. But it’s better than nothing, which is your only alternative if you’re a Time Warner Cable subscriber in New York City right now (the NBA’s League Pass subscription service, which is supposed to give you access to every game in the league, has a regional blackout). It’s also worth noting that while Wilson is directing his anger at the cable guys, who are easy and deserving targets, the NBA itself is a supporter of ProtectIP and SOPA, which are designed to make sites like atdhe harder to search for on Google, Twitter, etc.
