so my dad brought this up yesterday, someone at his work has this streaming box thing

http://www.amazon.com/G-Box-Midnight-MX2-Android-Streaming/dp/B00CH643A8

 

from what i can tell, it's a android version of  a apple tv

 

and was getting all excited about how his friend can stream all the live sport for free, like golf, soccer,motorsport etc.

 

From what he told, his friend said this is all legal, that he doesnt have to pay a subscription to watch all this live sport content.

 

I said that its not legal, as you have to pay a subsription here in NZ to get any live sport to watch

 

He doesnt seem to understand that this isnt a problem, streaming the content for free

 

help me out here.

You are correct, it is not legal as he is circumventing payment to obtain paid content.

yeah thought so

 

apparently a relative of ours has this box as well, and they say it's all legal too

 

he said he'll find out more from his work colleague, but he's missing the point.

 

we have a free to air sports channel that shows Moto GP, some cricket and EPL, but that is a legal TV channel

 

he doesnt understand the streaming sports legality, despite the fact such legal options dont exist here in NZ
