    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.
