Aware of the r/nflstreams Ban

Free NFL game streams were primarily hosted on the r/nflstreams subreddit. It was banned, however, due to infractions of Reddit’s repeated infringement policy—which governs copyright infringement. The policy states:

“Our policy is to suspend the accounts of users, in appropriate circumstances, who have been charged with serial copyright infringement. Sometimes a recurring infringement issue only impacts one person; we suspend the account of that user. Sometimes the issue impacts an entire subreddit community and we close the subreddit.
