It will never not annoy and amuse me that illegal options (presumably run by randoms in their spare time) are so much better than the offerings of big companies and their tech ‘talent’.

Illegal options would have lot less active users. So it is not a fair comparison

Yup. Also a bit more latency since it's effectively restreaming unless it's someone at the actual event.

Illegal options also have lot less resources (revenue, service providers who are willing host/facilitate illegal activities, and so on) so it’s a fair comparison in my opinion.

At least for NFL pirate streams, it seems they tend to use "burner" tenants from Azure and AWS. Of course they get shut down, but how hard is it to spin up another one?

They still have to put it behind a privacy-friendly proxy to hide their IP address from litigators right?
