NFL Player Uses Pirate Streaming Site to Watch His Own Team

Seattle Seahawks cornerback Tariq Woolen, who reportedly earns over $1 million a year, used pirate streaming site MethStreams to watch his own team play. This revelation came from Woolen’s Instagram story, where he shared an image clearly displaying the site’s URL. While Woolen seemed unconcerned when the news reached him, the NFL, which actively combats piracy, will likely take a different view.

nfl logoLast year, the NFL asked the U.S. Government’s Patent and Trademark Office to help tackle live-streaming piracy.

Together with the NBA and UFC, the football league asked the government to make DMCA takedown requests more effective.

NFL argued that when it comes to live sports streaming, long delays render takedown requests practically useless, as most of the value of live sports content lies in its real-time nature.

NFL vs. Pirates

Ideally, online services should be required by law to remove infringing content “instantaneously or near-instantaneously”, the sports companies argued. This includes social media platforms, where pirate streams are often openly advertised.

“Pirates have shown increasing sophistication in terms of the quality of their livestreams and now display livestreams in a way that often renders the final product indistinguishable from the legitimate feed,” NFL, NBA, and UFC explained.

“To garner maximum viewership of the pirated content, enterprising pirates will post ‘advertisements’ on major social media platforms that drive traffic to off-platform sites where people can watch unlawful livestreams of live sports event content without paying a dime.”

The sports leagues stressed that widespread piracy hurts their revenues. This impacts everyone involved in the sport, including the highest-paid athletes. However, that doesn’t mean that these players are unanimously rallying against piracy.

NFL Player Tunes in to Methstreams

Even some of the sport’s biggest stars, including LeBron James, have reportedly used pirate streaming sites. And this weekend, another player was added to the list after the injured Seattle Seahawks cornerback Tariq Woolen apparently tuned in to Methstreams to watch his own team play.

This was revealed in an Instagram story where Woolen shared an image clearly displaying the streaming site’s URL.

It’s not every day that we see professional players publicly tune into pirate streaming sites. After being picked up by ᴅᴏxx on X, the image was further shared by Tanner, through which it eventually reached the feed of reputable NFL news aggregator Dov Kleiman.

“Seahawks CB Tariq Woolen was using MethStreams to watch today’s NFL games. He makes over $1 million a year,” Kleiman wrote.

‘It’s Free’

The news eventually made it back to the Seahawks cornerback, who didn’t seem all that concerned. Whether NFL bosses share his casual attitude towards piracy is questionable, however.

It’s free it’s for me

Ironically, while Woolen was watching the game, NFLs anti-piracy partners were working hard to take pirate streams offline. Keeping an eye on Methstreams.com and other pirate sites with links to unauthorized broadcasts is par for the course.

Sunday’s game between the Seattle Seahawks and the Atlanta Falcons was no exception, as this takedown notice shows. Despite these efforts, some people still found their way to pirate sources.

Mercedes’ patented steering may finally make EVs exciting to drive

It describes a way of generating feedback for the driver through the steering.

New cars really are better than they used to be. They last longer, they're more efficient, and they're safer for the occupants in a crash. But it's not entirely a one-way street. If the last time you bought a car was more than a decade ago, you're probably shocked at the cumulative effect of inflation since then. But even ignoring sticker shock, there's also the matter of cars (almost) all having lifeless steering. But a patent filed last year by Mercedes-Benz might have the answer.

Regular readers will have read me complain about the death of steering feedback more than once. And that's a bad thing if you care about driving, or even if you don't. The late Richard Parry-Jones, an engineer whose career at Ford saw him rise to become CTO and head of global R&D, tracked customer satisfaction data and was able to prove to skeptical colleagues that good steering was highly correlated with customer satisfaction "because bad steering is tiring," he wrote.

Mostly, it's down to a switch from hydraulic to electric power-assisted steering—in many cases, the electric motor is placed on the steering column, which has the side effect of filtering out road forces, keeping them from being transferred back up the column and to the driver's hands via the steering wheel.
