Dana White on Pirating: "Fu## You, You Criminal"

[graciejjbrazil]

Does this make you scared to steal UFC streams?

[Banglish]

Hey us poor ****ers like MMA too! **** you DW! Thanks for the free MMA btw

Not in the least.. I will however never purchase anything from the UFC again.

Hey Dana... you're welcome.

[PhDoom]

Imagine having to pay to watch your favorite football, basketball, or baseball team play on T.V.. Work that deal with Fox to your advantage and have your sport looked at like other major sports Dana.

[CrazyTall]

stop watching ufc about a year ago.

lol I bet he's devastated.

Dana's right about basically everything he said. People just get butthurt b/c they like getting things for free

Id love to pay for HD quality live events, I just don't have the adequate money allocated. What alternative do I have atm? ents. And who doesnt love a good ent

[KrisDeagle]

The last sentence had me. Yes, stealing is illegal and I don't condone it but spending a lot of money to bust people who steal because they didn't spend...what is it...$30 for a fight? Come on, that's surely gotta cost more than what you're losing.

Your alternative is stealing, or going to a bar, or watching with friends to reduce cost

UFC events are a luxury, if u can't afford it, you don't watch it (unless you steal it)

No... it acts as a warning to others that might steal the content. Busting a single bar that steals the content, then publicizing the incident could serve to scare thousands of others away from stealing the content

Of course he's devastated. If he wasn't he wouldn't be on camera going on with this stuff. The PPV model is outdated and the UFC knows it in the mean time I will continue to stream mah ppvs.

It won't.

Word, my friends and I will sometimes buy a PPV if it's a really big fight (usually to see Andy), going to the bar is fun too. Unluckily for Dana, people like to share.

Nice, I've paid for about 6 events and I started watch UFC in '06

[1800_Cool_Guy]

If he doesn't like it he needs to stfu and go national televised full time. Problem solved.

[MaximusPlatypus]

It won't.

It will, and if you think it won't, you don't understand people or economics very well.

This.

It won't, you don't understand pirates very well. Read the above posts.

Pirating will likely lead to everyone being issued Government Internet IDs and less freedom on the internet (you'll no longer be anonymous). Some people feel so entitled to get things for free they'd rather lose their privacy on the net and have bills passed that will increase restrictions on everyone.

I don't care about 'pirates'

There are thousands, maybe millions of people that download events/movies/tv shows at the guidance of others. Many of them literally never considered it as possibly being wrong... if one of them heard a story about the UFC putting a bar out of business for pirating a UFC event, they'd be like, "wtf it's illegal? Oh noes dana white might put me in jail" and it will stick in their heads next time they download something.

There are many, many people who download that would think twice if they heard stories like that. If you think otherwise, you're blind to the general public.

Forum dwellers that have been pirating since age 11 aren't the people I'm talking about... but Dana white doesn't need to impact them to justify the cost of taking down illegal piraters of UFC content. It's the other demographic, the computer illiterate that learned how to use sopcast b/c their computer technician brother showed them, etc, etc.

The general public you refer to would not only not know how to get UFC for free unless they were, more than a general user and secondly, those who go to find UFC for free obviously know that it is illegal because they would be fans of UFC and fans of UFC know that UFC is pay-per-view. Honestly, it won't affect anyone.

Remember guys, sharing is bad! Shame on you heartless bastards!

In b4 someone in this thread assumes that knowing how to find UFC events for free is synonymous with thinking stealing is morally acceptable.

Oh wait....

Have lol'd at the logic and reasoning of every one of your posts in this thread. Strong understanding of piracy, it's actual impacts and human psychology.
