It's not even really the pricing that is the issue for sports content. There are so many exclusive deals and blackouts that in many cases you literally cannot pay for legal streaming for all games for a given team. I subscribe to ESPN+ (NHL) and MLB.tv and do not have cable. When a game isn't available with my subscriptions (something that happens for absurdly large amount of the games) the bootleg streams are usually the only option available.

I'd trade all this crap for an older version of YIM that didn't crash constantly.
(The current version has a buggy network library that crashes when you switch back and forth between networks, something I do frequently as I switch between my client's VPNs)

The good news is that this will finally make it possible for someone to write a decent tightly integrated encryption module.
Boggles my mind that all of the major IM clients are still sending plaintext across the network. I'd love to be able to use IM at client sites w/o my conversations ending up in the clients logs.
