    I i just wanted to check this thing..

    Can i get into troubles if i have a domain lets say "FREELIVESPORTSSTREAMING.COM" and on the site i use a iframe from another big site that streams sports?
    I will not stream or host anything just use the info from that big streaming site.

    Users can see live sports on my site but all streams comes from the bigger streaming site.

    Cheers

    You are responsible for material that can be viewed on your site - it doesn't matter that you are not the one doing the actual streaming.

    Not if the site is hosted in US or any other country which considers it contributory infringement.

    Good thread, I was wondering about the same thing too. Few months back, I read it on the news that these website owners are being sued by the US government. Wonder what happen to them.

    I doubt you will get in trouble.
