so i went to their website. For a site thats immediate branding is about how scary and dangerous hackers are, you’d think their news section would be full of fraud and ransomware stories. instead, their “latest news” is solely articles about people being arrested for using pirate streaming services or selling loaded firesticks.
The single exception to this is a “social experiment” they allegedly did where they put a QR code up at the tube marked as “free streaming for life” and had people put pii in to sign up. This entire “initative” is solely another way to harvest user data lmao.
Gonna be honest I didn’t read the articles so I’m not entirely sure. I did see a headline about cops going to peoples houses to issue warnings so maybe isps are snitching?
Theres firestick apps that stream all the regular channels, plus all the premium channels. (HBO, showtime, stars, ppv, etc) Essentially for $10 - $20 a month you get the best, most decked out cable package one could buy. You may or may not have access to all the new and old movies, TV shows (from all the platforms), and porn, on demand, as well. Maybe like that?
their “latest news” is solely articles about people being arrested for using pirate streaming services or selling loaded firesticks.
So just to be clear, the damage then is not from the actual piracy or due to any invasion from the source of the piracy, but rather 100% of the danger comes from the enforcement of piracy’s prohibition.
Yes, definitely sounds like piracy is the problem here 🙄

What circumstances does that even happen in? Like a bar that plays a pirated sports stream?

I’d be skeptical that’s even real, outside of a select few countries with especially strict copyright enforcement

That doesn’t sound like something you get arrested for though

Don’t do illegal drugs, kids! You could get in trouble, because they’re illegal.
Yup! The fact that it is defined as “illegal” allows goons to storm your house and court troll to harrass you.
Thus everything they say is true, in some way…
It’s insane that this is even legal.
I feel like it isn’t? Like isn’t that just false advertising?
