    So......
    I've just watched the Arsenal game, and I'm currently watching the United game, both via streams on XBMC.

    Who originates the streams, and why? What benefit is there to someone to allow worldwide users to view a match?

    This thread might be better off elsewhere, but this is as good a place to start as any...

    Views + ads = Money.


    They're not doing it out of the kindness of their hearts.

    I'd agree if that was via a browser, but this is XBMC, no ads, no clickbait.

    Ah sure it must be that:) A community spirit? Although its a prosecutable offence, so a risk for no credit

    XBMC just links to sites on the net that have the streams, XBMC is a glorified web-browser in this case.

    Same as streaming movies/tv shows on it.

    Hmmmm, sounds right. I'm surprised that sites don't block XBMC access, since it sucks up their bandwidth, for no return
