Media Dana admits defeat in piracy war.

He's going to spend a ton on this endeavor. Will probably sue the shit out of a few people.

... and the fighters will see none of that money.
 
This card isnt worth $70 or even watching

I could pirate many things, but Spotify and HBO max, for example
provide a great service for a reasonable price, so I choose not to.

UFC could follow suit and possibly capture a bigger audience.
PPV at $70 with taxes and a fucking ESPN+ paywall. Not a fucking chance.
 
There's just too many events to try and shutdown every illegal stream at every event is almost impossible.
 
Classic gigs in thread . Just needs pulp fiction travolta and nodding bjnpenn
 
Who's gonna tell Dana the biggest pirate in this country is the president that he supports?
 
Imagine owning MILLIONS and still losing sleep of internet piracy..

Exactly. Dana will never be happy. Even if he managed to nab all the streamers he'd move on to the next vandetta - fighters complaining about their pay..

<{hughesimpress}>
 
Before the Might of poor&stingy people worldwide, even the mighty goof is powerless
 
He is talking about the actual streamers.. Not us lowly schleps who watch.
Not sure about that. That may be the ones he can actually catch and do something about, but he is going around threatening average fans, who mostly aren't mass streamers.

Well the fighters certainly aren't seeing any money from the streamers and pirates. Fucking scumbags. Criminals the lot of them. They should be locked up and throw away the key. Dana White is the hottest man on the planet.

The fighters also get their money taken by greedy dana and his big nosed friends so yeah.
 
People don't understand how difficult it really is to control or contain the internet. Short of actually limiting all internet traffic like China does, you can't stop illegal downloads or streams.

And even in China it's possible to bypass the so-called "Great Firewall" using certain methods like VPN on non-standard ports, remote desktop connections, etc.

The best thing you can do is make it more convenient to do things the "proper" way than the illegal way. Spotify and Netflix etc are why music and movies downloads aren't as popular these days.

But to buy a UFC PPV, you need to pay a subscription fee for ESPN+ and then buy the PPV itself for $70. Why should I pay for the "privilege" of buying a UFC PPV?

Just put all the cards on FightPass, maybe charge $15 or $20 for the biggest cards, and there you go. Done. Piracy reduced, increased revenue, easy peasy.

But they're trying the RIAA/MPAA route, which has never worked and will never work.
The clothes and food industry are so happy that people cant just download that off the internet hahaha
