Under Streaming they say: Any video content shown on this website is not hosted by HeheStreams or transmitted by a HeheStreams-controlled server.
Which if I understand right, that means they're basically providing a platform to connect you to those sketchy free NBA streams as a proxy, and their own website is protected if the NBA wants to go after them, since the actual illegal content isn't on THEIR server.
Meanwhile, they rake in the cash and don't really take on any risk. And because they're basically a proxy, they can search and provide as many feeds as possible, hence the no blackouts, even nationally televised games.
Well, their streams have functionality (like the ability to pause, rewind, and start from the beginning) that most of the normal sketchy ones do not. So I suspect they're definitely doing something unique here. They're being creative about it to minimize legal exposure (they seem to have been around for a while, so it seems to be working), but there will always be a risk of it being taken down at some point.
From an end-user perspective, it seems like a low risk for the price as long as you're ok with the premise. And I've gotta say that Sinclair isn't making it very easy to be noble about it.
