I dont know if theres already been a thread about this but If anyone would like to know about Kev and "the fire" that cut short his streaming operation I found this... It must be him surely? |

Sympathy with those he stole from, but he joins a cast of hundreds ripping off footie fans with PL clubs leading the way.

Anyone who bought through google got their money back. Some of us were even able to claim the money from the season before once the floodgates opened and google paid out on all claims relating to flashsportstreams.

Who did he steal from other than SKY? The customers are just as guilty as he is really!

not sure how he was a "robbing twat"
i didnt lose a penny using flashsports a great service for people like me that are unable to attend many matches
now people use starstreams and instead of a bloke in sheffield getting the lolly its all being sent to china where they have a different take on copyright laws

I'll never understand how people didn't realise he just nicked most the streams anyway. Whenever Stoke played a 'big team' & the free streams were perfect quality, good ol' Kev would supply a great stream. Whenever Stoke played someone like Wigan & the free streams weren't great, good 'ol Kev would supply a stream of far less quality....... You'd have thought people would have clicked in when 'Kev the saviour' said there were no streams for a match one week, at half-time a free stream popped-up & good 'ol Kev had suddenly found himself a streamer but couldn't be sure on its quality.
The icing on the fucking cake was when our very own football clubs owner paid out money to show exclusive rights to a Stoke City Europa League match (FC Thun away) for free on bet365. It was the ONLY place in the entire world you could watch the game, but good 'ol Kev did his usual screen-grab shit & charged you daft bastards money to watch something our own fucking chairman was giving you for free!
The whole point of streamers is to stick two fingers up to Sky, the Premiership & their like, not fucking rip you off slightly less than they do!

I may be thick but ..... if these pay streams are illegal (for copyright reasons) ... surely the free ones are illegal too. So what's in it for the streamers?

So what's in it for the streamers? In "Super Kev's" case he was in it to make money, he was no better than Sky. In any 'free streamers' case it's to help out their fellow fan in the fight against the extortionate prices of the Premier League & Sky. |

Never paid for a stream and never will.the free ones i have watched were probably the same ones folk were paying for anyway.
Wack the HDMI cable in and watch it on the telebox job done.
Cant justify paying for something that is free elsewhere and of a good quality.

I used flash for 3 years and was very happy to pay the 30 quid. Yes, there were free sites and o occasion they were good but tbe whole convenience of not having to search for them saved me time. He als then started screening other sky channels including some films and I guess this was the straw that broke the camels back. I don't feel he ripped me off as he gave me value and I also got the money back for the last season. Two year's I the nick fot 500k, I guess most would do that, no?

I'm impressed. That's a lot of bollocks crammed into one post! Goarn, be a champ & expand on your post. I can expand - you're talking unadulterated nonsense. Firstly, the flash streams were far, far superior to any free streams, no matter who the opposition - every Prem game was guaranteed. As a subscriber of three or four seasons I can categorically say that your jackanory tale about games against the likes of Wigan is total fallacy. I can count on the fingers of one hand the times I had any problems at all, and on those rare occasions Kev was on the help chat straight away to sort something out. One time (at least) he put on a dedicated channel at a slightly lower bandwidth just for me because I was having problems with my internet. On the even rarer occasions that we were playing a cup game or something that he didn't have, if he could find something elsewhere on the net he generally streamed that for free, even for non-subscribers. He had a number of employees streaming for him, something corroborated by other posters on this board. Last but not least, in the very fooking article we're commenting on it states that investigators found that he took out several subscriptions to Sky to provide the service. Fair enough if you disagree with what he was doing, the guy knew he was committing a crime and he's been rumbled, it's a fair cop. I just don't understand why you feel the need to invent fantasy fairytales about what was actually going on when frankly, you clearly don't have the first idea what you're talking about. |

H I'll tell you what definitely wasn't seen first hand. Shit quality free streams of Premier League matches reposted on the FlashSportStreams site. As has already been said, he had other streamers working for him and all games that weren't on Sky were broadcast using foreign satellite boxes. Just because the article doesn't mention this doesn't mean he didn't have those boxes himself either. Didn't that pub (in Portsmouth?) win the court case about them broadcasting football using foreign satellite boxes? I'd imagine he had a few of these too. Either way, every Premier League stream that I ever watched on that site was of far superior quality to anything you could find for free. The same goes for StarStreams now. |

To be honest raf the quality 95% of the time was first class. I think it's now fair to say that there is an amazing amount of free streams of similar quality. No need to pay for them now however fss was very convenient.
