By granting rightsholders direct API access, the company says that it was able to target live sports streaming piracy more effectively.

I think pirating sports has gone mainstream. At Thanksgiving I watched my uncle who struggles with Bluetooth pull up a pirated football stream in 30 seconds.

  Piracy is purely a economic issue
  
  Make legally watching sports easier and piracy will drop

  Football is one of the most complicated things to watch. There are so many possible and expensive services that one needs to sign up for just to watch a specific game. It’s like they don’t want people to watch 4 hours of commercials.
