Is Watching Online Streams Illegal in the U.S? - Smurb - Aug 26, 2017
Was wondering if it's okay to watch live streams online, say for an example a Live PPV Stream.
Thanks in advance.

If you're streaming a paid service for free, most likely.
Chances of you getting in trouble: Highly Unlikely.

It's not illegal unless you're also distributing it (i.e. Popcorn Time). If you're just watching it, like some random ass 24/7 Family Guy stream, you're fine

Its illegal to watch the fight without paying for it, and anyone who does it will be breaking the law.
But will you get caught: NO
Do the police care: NO

Pretty sure it's not illegal to watch it but if you stream it then yes.
