There may well be less streams, but I'd expect the true football fans in China to carry on putting matches on P2P.
"The fans will have to endure the pain of the change," WinTV chief executive Song Zheng, who refused to disclose the fee his company paid, told a news conference on Monday. "Let's say goodbye to free Premier League. No more free lunch in the future."
Song, whose station has just 40,000 subscribers, said he was confident of winning over enough viewers among Chinese obsessed with football and the English top flight.
Sounds like Guangdong are going to become the $ky $ports of China. Football for the privileged. £12/month is steep in this country imo.

free football hah!
I pay a ridiculous amount of money to see EPL games (well, to assure myself of seeing at least some TOON games), and find that most of my viewing is done through the links provided here. If it turns out that this change becomes a problem next season, I'd be willing to pay for viewing here.
Yes of course this has been a free site, but planning for the worst-case well in advance can be a useful thing.
Now if somebody would just put a timer feature in the players so I could....

Money makes the world go mad
I hope this isn't true!! If it is let's hope our Chinese friends
can work something out for the fsicrew, FOC of course. 
Worst case scenario if they do have to buy TV rights
then it may well be cheap,If that's so we might have to subscribe
from them, it's got to be cheaper than Blighty.
Let's hope the advertisers pay for the rights and we can
resume normal service, right fsicrew.  |

As Mad Dog has just said chaps, The whole ethos of this site, If you care to look into our history, Is against pay sites. This will never become one, We would sooner give it up, And that ain't about to happen

Doesnt this only effect China though. ESPN Star Sports would still continue to show the EPL through South East Asia but they wouldnt have the rights in China.

At the end of the day, whilst there's a site to put links on, and a person to stream, its always going to be around.

With over a billion people in China I'm sure at least a few of them will be able to figure something out for their football-loving buddies overseas.

As a Yank who just discovered this site, I can tell you I pay my cable provider to watch my home town teams in MLB, NHL and NBA. Alas... No MLS team in Philly... yet... The NFL is the only US league that you don't have to pay to watch the local team... as of today anyway...
I also pay to watch some Prem Games on Fox Soccer Channel as well as just to watch Footie in general on GOLTV as well as some Spanish Channels in the Philadelphia area that carry soccer/football...
Anyways... very cool site! I used it the other day to watch the US U-20 Nats play Uruguay in FIFA U-20 WC... My Nats crashed and burned today vs. Austria but was able to find that game on a Spanish TV channel...
