Although the main reason why more and more people are using pirated IPTV to watch football for free is to avoid paying legal service fees, there are other reasons; For example, sometimes the rights mess is so great that there is no legal way to watch a sporting event without resorting to piracy.
In fact, the copyright situation is sometimes so ridiculous that equally ridiculous solutions are necessary to profit from this content; and if not, talk to the people responsible for the official Australian Open YouTube account, who have found a way to broadcast matches legally.
Although it may seem confusing, the Australian Open doesn't actually have the right to broadcast its own matches, at least not on a global scale; In many countries, exclusive rights are held by local broadcasters, who They can legally continue the tournament if he decides to make the content accessible to everyone.
In fact, although it may seem strange, it is more common than it seems, due to the way broadcast rights have been negotiated for decades and the arrival of new streaming services on the Internet. All of this means that, although the Australian Open has an official YouTube account, it is not able to broadcast visual content from live matches; but there is someone very intelligent in the organization, who decided to try something different to get around copyright issues.
The audience on the official Australian Open YouTube channel was surprised to see that the matches were being broadcast live; but the biggest surprise came when Matches were shown as three-dimensional animations like those of a video game. Indeed, as the Australian Open cannot broadcast the video of the official broadcast, it decided to create its own version with 3D graphics faithfully reproducing the movements of tennis players; Sound has been extracted from the pitch and synced with the 3D animation, and the commentators can also be heard.
Users were quick to compare the experience to watching a video game like Wii Sportsbut with better graphics. Tennis players are represented by avatars that exaggerate the size of their heads to make them more recognizable and, to some extent, their clothing and features were reproduced. The result is parodies of real tennis players, who play exactly like they do in real life.

This is not an exaggeration: virtual avatars actually move like real tennis players, thanks to technology based on the use of 12 cameras installed throughout the fieldwhich capture the movements of 29 different points of the skeleton and translate them into movements of the 3D characters. The process takes about two minutes, so streaming from the YouTube channel isn't exactly “live,” although that can be another benefit that allows you to avoid royalties.
The creators of this system themselves recognize that it is not perfect (with graphic errors clearly visible in certain movements), and that there are details such as fingers that they cannot yet record; but they are already anticipating that In the future, the experience can be much more realisticwe can therefore wonder whether exclusive broadcasting rights will still make sense.
