Pretty easy. Took me 2 minutes to set it up (I already have VPS). But Live streaming is also available on Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/user/olympic .Why are you not using that? Isn't it accessible in US?

No commercials. The BBC is funded by UK taxpayers through a license fee (about £12 per month).
So it basically means that everyone doing this is breaching various licensing agreements

#56I live in Berkeley, CA and I was able to get full access to videos, including streams and highlights, by selecting Xfinity as my service provider during my initial sign-up/activation on the NBC Olympics website.
Here at my apartment, we have no cable service and an internet provider called Zoom. So obviously, I wasn't being truthful - but instead was trying to circumvent this ridiculous corporate stranglehold during my first attempt to access Olympic footage.
I don't know if it will still work, but it worked for me on Friday and my credentials have held since - allowing my full access without login each time I access the website.

So when you said "this seems pointless", you meant "this seems pointless if you have access to some particular private bittorrent tracker". I trust you can see the difference there :)
Getting access to a private tracker isn't that hard, and you can probably find the stuff on EZTV anyway.
