Channelsurfing.net


A Quiet take down. Channelsurfing.net was a streaming video site that streamed out mostly sporting events. Hockey, Baseball, Basketball, Soccer, even some TV shows. This domain was a pretty popular site maybe even more so than, Surfthechannel. It offered completely free streams of live events, that were intermittedly interuppted by ads. Giving the websites its income. According to the article below, it was among 10 other sites that were seized and promptely shut down, including firstrow.net. Did anyone here use this site? I can't imagine it will be down long though before another site comes and takes its place.. The Napster effect I say..

    They've been cracking down on those type of sites lately. StrikeGently got taken down a little while ago, but it came back though so maybe there's hope.

    Although they're up with a new url:

    atdhenet.tv

    *sigh*

    Yeah.. this sucks. But like you said, another one should be up to take this and every other sites place in case of a shutdown.

    You forget, the US thinks it is the international internet police.

    We control the horizontal, we control the vertical.

    Consequences will never be the same...

    I'm curious as to the authority they have to take down the sites. Were they stupid enough to be hosted here?

    Yeah, this seems foolhardy on their part.

    very interesting though.
