Fuck NBC!
I am so tempted to watch the Mens 100 M final on the net but I have had no luck so far. :(

They have pretty much removed all the clips from Youtube due to copyright laws. Yet when I tried to watch the event on BBC it would not let me because the video was not available in my territory. :cry:

Those greedy bastards. I could not even watch it on NBC's website.

1. You can find it on Bittorrent if you want
Do a search for Olympics on The Pirate Bay. Second page of results. No direct link here because I'm sure that would violate some rules.

4. As for me, I have locked out NBC until after the Olympics. Not interested.
In the grand scheme of things, they are only games. They are certainly nothing to get bent out of shape about. The money spent on this spectacle would have been better spent on nearly anything else.

6. They paid nearly $1 billion for the rights to the coverage.
They can do as they please with the video.

I haven't seen the race, and I'd like to. I'm guessing it will eventually emerge.

7. I didn't have any trouble watching it on their website. What's up?
Oh, maybe it's because you don't have a "local provider" like my AT&T DSL account at my office, or the cable TV account most people have........

BUMMER. Because that was one hell of a finish.
