    I'm going to start a site with football matches streams:rolleyes:
    But I don't know if this is legal or illegal I will link the streams to other websites..

    There more sites that are streaming a lot of live sports etc..
    like myp2p.eu they are streaming everything:p

    Unless you have explicit permission to do so, streaming of football matches is certainly not legal.

    Many people think they can get away with that but the law allows you to be persecuted even if you merely post links. It is effectively contributory copyright infringement

    I'm not very well acquainted with myp2p.eu's legal standing, but I think they recently had a battle against the Premier League in the Netherlands and the judge ruled in their favour.
