San Francisco - Personal video webcasting service Justin.tv has been served with legal threats by the broadcast rights owners to the English Premier League, Britain's top soccer league, CNET News.com reports. Setanta Sports has threatened to sue San Francisco-based Justin.tv, which allows anyone to broadcast a live video feed from their computer webcams, because some users have pointed their webcams at their televisions during soccer matches -- essentially offering a pirated transmission of a pay-TV signal. One such recent webcam feed of a Manchester United match drew over 167,000 hits.
