      2. Pirate, or if you're willing to give them money, buy Sunday game ticket
      3. Set your location to Canada
      4. Watch any game you want

      As far as I know, no one has ever gone to jail or been sued for *watching* pirated streams from sites like sportsurge or crackstreams. This law would make the companies operating those sites felons, but not the users. It's like if you watch a YouTube video that eventually gets taken down for copyright -- they're not going after the viewers.
