It's totally free and the streams work well.

Heres an excerpt from a post on the site I linked regarding the legality behind watching footy streams from the web:

"This is my understanding. Please don't take this as gospel, or legally binding, it's just my humble interpretation.

The rights to show live football in the UK are owned by Sky and Setanta. However this only covers broadcast rights for channels specifically and solely intended for the UK market.

The channels that are available on the Peer-2-Peer programs that this site provides links for have the rights to broadcast live premiership football in their own countries. They make their channels available over the internet and this means they are available in the UK.

It's the equivalent of taking a portable sattelite dish to France, plugging in your sky box and watching the footie in your caravan. It's not intended for the French market (French channels have the broadcast rights in France), but it is available there. There is nothing illegal about watching a foreign TV channel that happens to be available to you, even if it isn't intended for the area you are in. Because FSi only provides links to information in the public domain, and doesn't actually broadcast anything itself, the site is perfectly within the law.

Like I said, I wouldn't take that as absolute.

As for how it works (and again I make no guarantee to the accuracy of this!) it goes something like this. The programs you download in the software section are Peer-2-Peer programs. They effectively create a network of people watching the same channel. Whilst watching a channel you are receiving the video from the other users on the same channel, and also sending the video onto others. There is more detailed info here:-

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peer-to-peer
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_sh...reams_over_P2P

The clever people behind FSi are pointing you in the right direction to a) download the software you need and B) find the right channel for the game you want to watch. You could find all the software/information yourself, but it would take a lot of web-crawling/translation/headaches to do so. In that sense they offer a free service that provides publicly available information in an easy to use, convenient form.

Hope this helps."

To be honest I wouldn't worry at all about the legality aspect of these sites, its just standard peer-to-peer software and you not going to get nicked for watching some random video stream broadcasted from a foreign country.

the site is 'illegal' but the channel showing it is not. we get free football here from other countries, and in them countries they pay for it. same as the premier league, in other countries they might show them for free. this is for tv.

so, these guys creating these sites just really use those free foreign channels and put them up on the internet.
