Last night was a very busy night for the Justin.tv site. Neither of the big stars of JTV were broadcasting. Those being Justine and the Jonas Brothers. But their was one channel that attracted almost 90% of the the viewers. This channel was being broadcast by a kid who looked like he was around 12 years old. His channel was popular because he was streaming live the WWE’s PPV Unforgiven. Most people who saw the PPV had to pay $40. If you were lucky though you got to see the whole thing free on Justin.tv with about 4000 other people.
Another live streaming website also joined in on the fun. Ustream.tv had at one point 3 different channels going who were all broadcasting the Unforgiven PPV. It seemed though that Ustream could not keep up with all the viewers . For a few hours their were many problems connecting to streams and chat. It could have been just been them doing maintenance though.
The most that will come out of this is that JTV and Ustream will get a letter from the WWE that copyrighted material was broadcast and to take down any archives of the PPV. My concern though is that this will lead to other people broadcasting copyrighted material. Last nights broadcast shows that the sites won’t take you down for broadcasting something copyrighted. I just hope Justin and the crew at Justin.tv are prepared to deal with legal problems.
