Watching EPL live on smartphones without permission violates copyright

By The Nation

 

 

Cable and satellite channel provider TrueVisions says it is ready to broadcast live the inaugural matches of the English Premier League 2019/2020 tomorrow night (August 9) and stresses that TrueVisions is the only entity in Thailand that received the full rights to broadcast live, rerun and present highlights of the 380 matches of the three forthcoming EPL seasons through all its pay TV channels and online platforms.

 

Thai EPL fans can view football matches on TrueVisions pay TV channels, websites, the TrueID application on smart phones and TrueID Box. To expand the channel for viewers, TrueVisons allows PPTV channel 36 to broadcast 30 selected EPL matches on its terrestrial, satellite and cable systems as well as IPTV box, but will still restrict broadcasting programmes on OTT system and smartphones applications 

 

TrueVisions also re-emphasises that live broadcast of EPL matches via OTT and applications on smartphones is against the existing intellectual property laws and that TrueVisions is fully obliged to protect and supervise the copyrights concerning EPL broadcast activities to prevent possible termination of signal transmission by EPL copyright owners, which will affect Thai EPL fans, who will consequently be not able to watch EPL matches – the world’s most popular sport event of the year.

Is it possible to view only EPL via a True App on an android box without having to subscribe to True's other packages?

 

What other options for just football are there?

Nah, I guess they mean you can look at it in Thailand online via Internet and another channel from another country with the agreement to send EPL in their country. Then you can access that channel with a VPN-tunneling service, which would then be deemed illegal due to that the person looking is present in Thailand.

 

On the other hand. A VPN protects you, so how they would find that out is a mystery. Just a lot of talking again. Probablt people with nothing to do and a high salury.

You can subscribe to TrueID and then watch on computer, phone or Chromecast to a tv, although Chromecast not working too well at the moment.

There is actually a Thai site where you can watch most countries live football for FREE if you can handle the advertising that goes with it.

Many options. Use your search engine and look around. You can get HDcoverage of every match through Acestream media, free. Also next day full match replays on reddit.
