#2The one data element missing seems to be concurrent streams per account? Just seems to me that one account with 200 active streams might be fraudulent.

Do you actually expect people to use their work email for personal purposes?

I used to work in IT and one of my responsibilities was managing the company email and TONS of people used their work email for personal stuff. At least 1/3 of the company.

Righjt but they are talking about site's customer base. Most people have e-mail hosted on some big provider

Mux is a video broadcast infrastructure provider, not a sports streaming web site. The vast majority of their users are expected to be businesses.

I absolutely expect people to use their work email for personal purposes.

#8Sigh... f*ck sports leagues/governing bodies. The reason some honest people pirate streams for sporting events is because they make it so annoying to pay for them. Some examples...
I live in the US.
I briefly took an interest in the EPL. If I wanted to watch all EPL games (or have the option of watching any particular EPL game), I'd have to subscribe to Peacock _and_ Fubo -- and I'm still not sure that gets me all games.
I briefly took an interest in the NHL (this was years ago, granted -- things may have changed). If I would have subscribed to their service, the ONLY team whose home games I couldn't watch would have been the TEAM OF THE CITY I LIVE IN (i.e.: "my" team).
My two favorite sports, though, are Cycling and F1.
I LOVE cycling. To watch every UCI race, I'd have to subscribe to GCN+ (they have the Giro), Peacock (they have the Tour de France and La Vuelta), and Flobikes (they have most of the Classics races).
THE ONLY sports governing body that has figured this out (for sports I like, anyway), is F1. I pay F1.com $80 a year and get MORE content than I would if I watched the races on ESPN. I can see EVERY RACE, EVERY QUALIFYING, EVERY PRACTICE. I can even choose WHOSE car I want to see the first person view from.
If you want to "stop pirates", make it easy for them to give you money and watch their favorite sport.

Yep, NHL blackouts are idiotic. Hard to imagine they are selling more arena tickets that way.

I’m with you, including the F1 part, and I’m glad that Liberty Media hasn’t hiked up the prices in the US so far. Even with the $80/year, I still end up watching some races on ESPN because Sky’s broadcast rights won’t allow F1TV to show the interviews with pit wall, Ted/Karun and other small things… still miles better than all other sports.
