Live and sports streaming rights cost billions and are locked up by the leagues and ESPN/DAZN/Netflix/Amazon, then delivered behind DRM. The product is the rights deal, not the app — there is nothing for a solo dev to build here head-on.
Moat: the licensed catalog is the product · why: sports/live rights cost billions · exclusive league deals + DRM · no external interface to the content
