    Hah! Like the “legal” services are much better than that!

        Oh, if Disney Corp could use the mouse pointer or the one on your desk, or even a living breathing mouse, or whatever else mouse or not rest assured - if killing you somehow benefits them they’ll do it. They might do it from sheer incompetence too and they’ll try to write it off as business as usual. Also, it applies to anyone you know for good measure.

        They were bought by Comcast a number of years ago, so they’re actually worse than before if you can believe it.

      Wonder how much of your personal data they have? 😆

      Or how many times they’ve been hacked, or broke the law.

    More crime is committed in the making of media than in pirating it.

    Also more wrongdoing against society and the public that the justice department couldn’t be bothered with (so doesn’t count as crime).

    Pirate it all or don’t watch it.

      Been living by this for decades since I learned from my highschool computer science teacher that it was even possible. I’m 50 now and I have paid only twice for tv and movies in my adult life.

    So very ironic when it’s the opposite between them.

    “1 in 10 people believe they are not at risk when using illicit sources to watch TV, film or sports.”

    ONE in ten? Man, they’re even bad at cherry picking statistics 😂

    They even cite a study with only 1,000 participants for their statistic that “32% OF PEOPLE HAVE BEEN VICTIMS OF FRAUD”

    In the title, at least. The body of that claim’s card says that it’s the people, or someone they know that have been victims of fraud.

    Gosh, I hate dishonest scare marketing campaigns.

    Is that supposed to be more intimidating than corporations stealing my personal data with or without me knowing?

    You should use legal streams that you pay for so you know they’re stealing your personal data!

    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.

      people being arrested for using pirate streaming services

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

        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?

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

            Not even in the US, which it seems leads the charge on enforcing copyright most of the time.

            It’s the “your internet could be disabled” scare tactics.

        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 🙄

        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…

          And it’s not even illegal in the sense most people think of, it’s a copyright violation. Which is a regulatory thing, not a criminal law thing.

      It’s insane that this is even legal.
