    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?
