KO for an asshole named BOXING GURU

Yes, the Fat Cats in the entertainment world make a lot of money. That includes HBO, Showtime, Box Nation, big fat Mr. Bunce, big fat Don King, and a lot of overpaid fighters such as Floyd "Money" Mayweather. But come on...even they are going to notice PPV sales slipping, and subscriptions to their streaming broadcasts dwindling...because of assholes like "Boxing Guru."

This guy was so incredibly smug, he even had a fucking Twitter account...which you'll notice hasn't been updated recently?

This genius was going along pretty well for quite a long time, but...eventually enough reports came in, and enough anger was generated, so that the cops and Internet authorities had to come in and shut the fuckhead down. And he IS a fuckhead because he LIVES IN THE UK, not behind Putin's skirt. I went to his site a few days ago to check out a fight, and was floored to see this:

Yes, his UK site was down, as well as all the others, which were registered to foreign domain locations. When you're a moron, don't expect to be immune because you registered Thievery.TV or Thievery.RO or whatever. You have a website in "Romania" supposedly, but you're in the UK? See you in jail, idiot.

Now, the odds have always been in favor of the bootleggers and blog bastards...so many out there, so little time. But if you get really big for your knickers, and decide you're a STAR, and boast a whole blog of thefts, or password your shit with your name on it, or have a fucking Twitter account...you JUST MIGHT GET WHAT YOU DESERVE.

Fucking "Guru." Guru? He's a 26 year-old asshole, that's all. His site had a fucking "Chat Box" of course, so that not only could people watch streaming boxing freeeeee, but make racist comments and scream "thank you Guru."

How do I know all of this...obviously, because I was one of them thievin' lot who went to Guru. Not all the time, because I found his site a bit balky and the stream might be dodgy. But he was often the first choice before I checked elsewhere.

My rationalization? I'm a cheap fuck. But in my case, I would not, have not, and will NEVER buy a PPV fight. I don't give that much of a damn. If I can't get it free, I won't buy it. But that's just me. If I can't get a free download of a CD I want, I actually WILL buy it. As for Box Nation, it's unavailable to me. If it was, and was reasonably priced (which is almost never the case with cable TV) maybe I would.

Technically, I shouldn't be putting money in Guru's pocket, or some other slimeball, by going to a site and increasing the traffic, which lets him get more ads from corrupt con artists offering dating services, Bitcoin drug dealing, and the rest of the crap. Technically, if I don't want to buy, I shouldn't watch. But my name isn't Kilburn and I don't always take the high road. I'm only human. But I admit I'm cheap, and what I do is thievery. I don't say I'm "sharing" and I don't indignantly tell the world that I'm entitled to FREEEE, and that Capitalism is a shit idea.

You damn well know that what I didn't do was rage all over some forum or other, "Poor Boxing Guru, come back, don't let the bastards win..." or, more accurately, "Rich Boxing Guru Punk, I don't give a shit how much you're paying in legal fees, go over to your mum's house and set up Boxing Guru 2, and do it before I miss the next Tyson Fury match! And rah rah rah, Nathan Cleverly, too."

Nah. I went to one of the other free sports streaming sites. No problem. And guess what...if they ALL went down...still no problem. I'd say GOOD. If it's there, I'll watch. If it's not, I won't be screaming about "copy wrong" and how promoters, managers and fighters charge too much. As if Tesco doesn't. As if taxi drivers don't. As if Apple and Samsung and the rest are rock bottom. As if the CEO of Wal-Mart doesn't make an obscene amount of money while his workers get minimum wage.

The unfairness of CEO's making $20 million a year while their workers get mininum wage, is NOT going to change by some pseudo-Robin Hood game, or by getting on hands and knees to praise Pirate Bay and Kim Dotcom and other cocksuckers who "pirate" the goods. What happens when there's too much stealing? The CEO still makes his obscene salary, he just lays off a few workers and makes people wait on a line longer.

Fuck with free streaming video, and it just means those who have REAL CABLE will have to wait longer to get a repairman to come over, and outages and snowy pictures will happen more often.

Torrent Freak did cover this, and didn't gripe that poor Mr. Guru should be allowed to skate. Why? Maybe because Torrent Freak LIKES copyright? Imagine if every post at Torrent Freak was "SHARED" by a few duplicate sites behind Putin's skirt, and a few dotcoms copied off every word, changed a few, and began getting the ad revenue and click-through money, reducing what Torrent Freak gets. Oh, they'd be screaming for the IFPI and BPI and the RIAA and the FBI, all right. "Wahhh, we're Torrent Freak, and somebody is "sharing" our "hard work," please please help us!" Right. If "copy wrong" thieves in China and Russia and even down the street, were allowed to "share" everything, and reduce the amount of people getting it from Torrent Freak, they wouldn't have the time or resources to interview thieves, or attend police press conferences. Why, they might have to get a REAL job and sell t-shirts! Oooh, suddenly "copyright" isn't such a bad idea, huh? I quote from them because I'm giving them credit, it's "fair use," and I'm not stealing their whole fucking website and saying I'm entitle to do that:

The boxing forums are quite upset about poor Mr. Guru. I'm tempted to say they're all a bunch of stupid fuckheads, but like the music forums and other forums, quite a lot of the members are intelligent, "law abiding" people who just happen to have a head-up-the-ass view of copyright. They are so blinded by greed, they don't see the danger and folly of allowing illegal activity to rule. THEY wouldn't in a million years, like it if somebody dictated to them how much to charge for the steak and kidney pudding they sell in their restaurant, and they wouldn't want somebody shoplifting from their store, and they wouldn't want to be denied a pension because "you got paid for your work and that's the end of it."

Here's a sampling of some of the dumbass comments...which are far dumber than the usual antisemitic drivel found in these asylums, or the idiot sexual boasting, or the flame wars with everyone calling each other Spic, Nigga, Paki, etc. You know, while wifey is in her forum carrying on about which McDreamy star is the dreamiest, and what Paris Hilton wore last night, and what was happening in the last episode of CORRY or maybe the fucking Drivel of Thrones...THESE guys are cunting it up about whether Manny is better than Floyd! They are just as silly in their gossip and star-worship as their wives!

Here's some shit from the assholes in one of the boxing forums, where FREEDOM is misused so regularly.

And yes, you read it right, one British asshole quoted below actually hopes that websites in Communist countries can help out and let him steal those Tyson Fury and Nathan Cleverly fights! Sure...who cares if Nathan Cleverly makes less money for letting his brains get punched into cabbage, or if there's so much thievery that the colorful Mr. Bunce will get paid minimum wage or be replaced by some intern or loudmouth from a boxing forum. Who cares that the threshold of thievery means that it doesn't pay to cover fights in foreign countries, or lesser fights with up-and-coming boxers. Who cares that if it becomes super easy to find illegal streams, more people, resenting paying while parasites get it free, start cheating, too. The big picture is that corrupt activity is ultimately damaging. IE, the "Free enterprise" system can't afford everybody getting everything FREEEEE. But try and waste your time telling that to the maniacs quoted below:
