Re: R.i.p. Atdhe
 

Holy schnikes! Busted!

What a pity. atdhe is a great domain for catching games.

Re: R.i.p. Atdhe
 

Well crap.

Re: R.i.p. Atdhe
 

you guys skipped over the 2nd post?

Re: R.i.p. Atdhe
 

How the F does a site like that stick around when we get pinched for having 'Redskins' in our domain?

Re: R.i.p. Atdhe
 

Because who would associate atdhe with some kind of sports site where you can watch games online?

Glad they found another place to host it, I don't use it very often but it's an extremely helpful resource when I'm out on the road and can't find a place to watch my teams.

Re: R.i.p. Atdhe
 

regardless of the domain, it's not hard to find these type of sites

Re: R.i.p. Atdhe
 

Thank you Tryfuhl!

Re: R.i.p. Atdhe
 

Why doesn't the NFL wake up and just make an affordable online package for those who wish to catch games when they are either on the road or don't live in the coverage area? Especially those who do not have Directv?

In the future it will happen, but probably the current deal with the NFL and DirecTV puts a cramp in trying to make that happen right now.

Re: R.i.p. Atdhe
 

I used them a lot, but I also have *others* bookmarked.

I never understood why it was that the NFL only had chosen on satellite company to allow fans to see any game they want. Makes no sense unless you work for Directv!

$$$$

Just seems like more of a chance for more money for the NFL if they had deals with other cable and satellite providers. Maybe the other providers felt that it would cost the more than what they could put into it to provide something similar to what Directv offers with the NFL Sunday Ticket.

Then again, I have Directv (although I'll probably ditch it soon) and have never paid for the Sunday Ticket. I'm sure I might if I was not living in Redskins coverage area and had the extra money to do so.

ES mods brought it up to the team since this was the biggest competitor I think. None of the other sites with Redskins in the name got the letter. Plus ATDHE wasn't hosting or directing any content through the site.

it was the same reason that every team had to start wearing Reebok.

Could have been them, who knows.

From what they told me it was the highlight clips we were hosting that caught their eye initially. And there was some guy in my area selling DVD's of past Super Bowls, they suspected it was me at first.

Funny I presented the NFL's attorney with a list of fan sites that had team names in their domain, nothing has happened.

Re: R.i.p. Atdhe
 

I know both the Bronco's forum, and the CowboysZone got letters on the streaming video links and threads (both sites made very public bans on both), never heard about the team name issue, but I think the Broncos forum is the equivalent of ES, and CowboysZone has a very close relationship with the team also.

Re: R.i.p. Atdhe
 

Could come down to team thing with the domain names, after all we all know how nice the Danny is!

Oh yeah, forgot about the vids, wouldn't be surprised if that could have been it. Just interesting how other sites, Redskinsheads, etc are still up.. but I think that they were in their infancy when this went down. I wouldn't have submitted the list to them though.

Re: R.i.p. Atdhe
 

[quote=Mattyk;781864]$$$$[/quote]

I think it's more guaranteed money. The NFL doesn't like to take to many risk so more times then not they go for the one carrier willing to pay a premium for exclusive rights rather then have multiple advocates making money for the league. Still the way they go about it from video games to Sunday Ticket has always rubbed me the wrong way.

By the way is anyone else scared to death of this attempt by the government to take over the internet? I'm not a political guy nor a conspiracy guy but this sudden public interest in internet kill switches as well as the government seizure of Atdhe has me screaming BS.

Well, here's how it kinda went

Me: why are you picking on me when there are countless other sites doing the same thing?

NFL: we're not aware of any other sites

Me: really? How about this list of sites just off the top of my head... I can list plenty more if you want.

NFL: fair enough we'll look in to it

A few weeks later I emailed them back again and said so how's that follow up going, never heard anything back.

Honestly if this were my site I might find that in me. Not being in that position makes it easier for me to commentate. Just never liked the well Billy got away with it approach.. I lost a shitton of valuable cards in elementary school because of some (insert disparaging remark here) and vowed to never tell on anyone to help myself out since then.

I remember how silly that time was though, getting singled out. IIRC I shot you a PM with some similar domain names that weren't protected but I was pretty much a nobody then, my how things have changed, jk

"These events should not have come upon us with the surprise that they did," the committee's chairwoman, Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., said in an interview. "There should have been much more warning" of the revolts in Tunisia and Egypt, she said, in part because demonstrators were using the Internet and social media to organize.

Apparently they were to busy watching sports online. :cheeky-sm

Why was the domain seized by ICE? I can understand issues regarding copyrights, but I'm not sure that I get the immigration/Homeland Security angle. Shouldn't ICE be finding illegal immigrants rather than worrying about football broadcast copyrights?

Re: R.i.p. Atdhe
 

Could the US Government really shut down the internet because in Egypt they only had to deal with 5 ISP's? In the US we have 1,000's of different ISP's not to mention a US internet kill switch. Certainly it would be more difficult to execute.

Damn Canadians. Always jumping our boarder looking for warmer weather and football where the endzone isn't 2,000 yards long. When are we going to build a fence to keep the Canadians out of our country.

I love that site. Since it is European, it is tough for the NFL to stop it. As well, you can check out Swedish commercials during the game and thus enjoy a cultural education event.
