Warning to Firestick Users who Stream illegally...

[@FreeTech]

What are your thoughts on this? 🍻 VPN DEAL - letscrackon.org/ipvanish

[@darkomuj]

I use Nord VPN yearly subscription on all devices including iPhone and iPad, plus I use 2x Mi Box S 2nd gen on 2 TV’s and have extra subscription for Croatian iskon legal IPTV premium service Arena Sport channels showing UK football plus Maxsport 1/2 showing Croatian football league

[@markcampbell6320]

Would not use ipvanish if you paid me.Nord or ivacy or a free one proton

[@geemcfc]

@@markcampbell6320 I did a search on IP Vanish to check how many shell companies deep they are and as it goes, I think it only went two levels down before finding the owner company. Many other VPN providers are hidden under layers and layers of shell companies.. so when you come across those, they are actually government owned. I still use IP Vanish to get around geo-location blocks, but I also use PiVPN everything else. (I use PiHole as well for good measure)

[@David-kk5fx]

Nothing to worry about if you're not selling "modified" fire sticks, especially given that it's not illegal to own one. How much money are the authorities spending on properganda in an attempt to scare people from using apps like Tea tv or Bee TV. It works targeting the ill informed. My wife knows I use my fire stick for watching side loaded apps and said that she came across news that the authorities are clamping down on fire stick users. I told her that she's not to worry because I don't supply the streams or make money and the authorities are only after those that are illegally making money by supplying copyright material. She said if I get caught then she's nothing to do with it. So there you have it, the properganda is working to a small effect on the ill informed or easily scared.

Prosecuting individuals for watching pirated films online whilst 3/4 of reported burglaries and car thefts were left unsolved last year, and knife and gun related crimes rates continue to soar indicates a misguided sense of priorities within the force.

So why make sticks so easy to upload apps? Another issue is why are netflix and Prime renting out movies for £3 or 4 when some of the movies are so old you can buy a physical copy off ebay for 50p lol

[@TrevM0nkey]

The only Firestick users that are at risk of getting a visit, are ones who bought the loaded firestick and had it delivered, and the seller kept their address on record. The police aren't going to be able to get a warrant to get information from an ISP to see if somebody has been accessing something they shouldn't. and you know it's a load of arse when they say 'modified' Firesticks. Installing software onto the existing operating system, isn't modifying anything. It's like saying you've modified your PC by installing the Amazon Prime Video app..

[@ChelseaPensioner-DJW]

I know for a fact that there are people sideloading iptv apps onto firesticks, then selling them on for £50 to £70 because it has iptv on it.

[@TrevM0nkey]

@@ChelseaPensioner-DJW and the people buying them are the ones who may get a visit as there'll be a paper trail of where they were delivered to.... buy sideloading is just a word for installing software without going through the official channels. Loading an APK onto an Android device or loading an application on a Firestick, isn't modifying it. It's not been jailbroken and it's still running the Fire OS.

[@aCoolHHChannel]

[@ruspj]

if anyone uses something like this isnt it down to the content owner to to collect evidence and prosecute them privately rather than the police getting involved and making arrests? bit like the old days when there were people on every markey selling coppied CD's - they could be arrested but their customers were never arrested.

[@peterk5899]

Make streaming services a resendable price and pay per view live tv a affordable price and there wont need to be illegal streaming. its costing a fortune nowadays to watch TV.

[@Placesandspaces35]

This is why i love my edge firewall box. I can set up multiple 3rd party VPNs and route specific streams through different vpn providers. If i have 3 iptv subscriptions on a particular streaming app i can send one subscription to IP Vanish. Another to Express VPN and another to say PIA even though all of the subscriptions are under one application like IPTV Smarters. Technology will always be a step ahead. 🤷‍♂️

I guarantee in the next 6 months there will be a new package where netflix, disney, now tv, paramount, etc etc where they all come together for say £19.99 a month for all streaming services. This is the only way to stop it. Or amazon can stop manufacturing them. However i will still pay for prime because of the discount and next day delivery so amazon have cornered the market by having their streaming service combined with their delivery service and then everyone buying their hardware to avoid paying their competitors. Very smart by amazon.

[@matthewhopkins666]

The tactic of trying to scare the user isn't anything new. Back when torrents took off there was articles warning people they were going to go to jail for years or face financially crippling fines for downloading content when in reality all the law enforcement was focused on taking down the owners of torrent sites and groups cracking software or ripping media and distributing it.. Same with music downloads, same with DVD bootlegs and VHS before that and even audio cassettes. It's not an unreasonable tactic from the point of view of the industry looking to prevent IP infringement, scare the users to drive away potential revenue sources for those distributing the bootleg material. Why the media disseminate these obvious fake claims about Joe Blow being hunted by the law who knows.

Like you say in the old days you paid a subscription for everything, and now you have to pay subscriptions for individual sports, that's taking the p--s, I know I'm breaking the law but do I care that Meryl Streep or Denzel are losing out by pence because I'm streaming a movie with them in it?, no way, it's Sky who see the cash!!, I bet they don't hand over much to the "artists".
