      Sure, but the users of the service could also claim they got scammed with a counterfeit product. Those selling the service are the only ones worth pursuing from the practical and ethical standpoint.

        I highly doubt the users could get away with such an excuse but I’m not a lawyer. And the complaint comes from the football ligue rights holders, there is not ethics to be found here.

          Given that everyone is innocent until proven guilty, an excuse can be all it takes sometimes, especially in a civil suit.
