Going to the world series of poker is slightly different as there's potentially a contract established between you and the promoters via your ticket.
Also, copyright holders don't need to enter into a contract to assert their rights. You don't enter into a contract when you watch TV but you still don't get the right copy and distribute shows (or sporting events) that you watch.
But you can make a page that links to the network's website where the TV shows are downloadable for free.
