Justins TV apparently just got busted for copyright. anybody got another internet live feed?
Couldn't they have wait another 6km before cutting it off. I thought Justins TV had paid, since they where taking donations.

We didn't get busted for anything, Justin.tv staff is just stupid.
The England and Wales Cricket Board thought that some of their stuff was on Justin.tv's servers. ECB matches are broadcasted on Eurosport Live, which is also the feed we use to broadcast the tour.
As a result, any channel that has even sniffed Eurosport has gotten shut down and their archives removed, even though no one has ever broadcasted a ECB Match.
10,000 people missed the last KM of Stage 10 thanks to the ECB tweaking out over a sport that no one watches anyway.
We are working on a way to broadcast Stage 11 for Wednesday. Thankfully we have a rest day to work with.
Cricket can suck my ass for all I care. Stupid wanks.

Good luck. It was nice to see someone streaming it. Cricket's not all bad, but considering it's global popularity, it's no wonder that the anti-piracy regime is on top of it...
By the way, barring any gigantic debate about intellectual property rights and such, why is it illegal to stream media if you're including the commercials!? I mean, the commercials are essential what is paying for the broadcast. Your cable subscription is a pittance to versus or Eurosport in this case.

Wow. That whole "life writes the comedy for you sometimes"... It is like it was ripped form the pages of a Douglas Adams book.
