YouTube to Stream Live IPL Matches

It’s interesting that Google/YouTube can’t be sued by anyone for having illegal content because they are *only* a search engine, yet now they are paying for rights like everyone else, they’re actually a broadcaster...

Could you imagine ITV or Fox paying for the rights for one sport, and illegally showing another? Why is YouTube different by paying for IPL content, and happily serving hundreds of thousands of illegal Premiership content (this clip has had 2.6m views - )?

Also, you’ll see situations where you’re watching an IPL match, and see adverts for illegal tickets being shown in the overlay ads (because again, Google don’t need to moderate its own adverts)!!
