>* Domestic abuse is the victim's fault because they shouldn't have made their partner angry. * The Chinese GFW is the fault of the people who criticized the government. They shouldn't criticize the government. * Israel indiscriminately bombing Gaza is the fault of the Gazans who fought back the last time Israel did that. * The Holocaust is the Jews' fault for not fleeing the country sooner.
Except in all those cases, you can vaguely make the case that the "victims" were in the right (eg. the right to be not physically assaulted). It's far more questionable to claim that people have the right to free live sports streaming.
Doesn't matter. Even if you have no right to be annoying, being annoying doesn't justify punching you in the face. Even if you have no right to kill 100 people, killing 100 people still doesn't justify killing 50000 people. Even if you have no right to watch sportsball, watching sportsball doesn't justify shutting down the Internet.

Being "annoying" however does justify you being escorted off the premises, which is probably closer to what's happening to those streaming sites than being "punched in the face".

Get a grip. Returning incorrect IPs for several known illegal stream websites is hardly "shutting down the Internet", any more than arresting a bunch of belligerent protesters is enacting a police state.
