That command prompt.
They could steal your personal data without you knowing.
Hah! Like the “legal” services are much better than that!
Hey now, the legal services tell you they’re stealing your data. It’s in section 9, subsection 14, paragraph 423 of the terms of service.
It’s 507 paragraphs long and written in a mix of German and Esperanto but yeah, it’s right there! Clear as day!
Shoutout to Sony BMG putting rootkits in legally bought CDs.
You would be safer pirating.
does this mean if I pay for streaming my privacy will be respected
🤔
Huh, I didn’t think emojis would be italicized. Interesting.

Devs, we need bold emojis stat. Fennec people, get on it !
They don’t show up italicised for me (iOS)
Did you ask Tim Cook for permission before trying that ?
To ask…
You dropped this - /s
They could steal your personal data without you knowing.
So very ironic when it’s the opposite between them.
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?

It’s insane that this is even legal.

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 🙄
Last time I tried to stream a hockey game legally it just wouldn’t ever load. I went back to the pirate stream.
You probably had to be using a Smart™ TV so they could steal your personal data.

They are actually less prone to big data theft… “they could steal your personal data without you know”…while the “legal” streaming sites are stealing orders of Magnitude more wich is pretty clear by the amount of data they transmit, a website has usually no access to your contact info, your entire hard drive, the contact info of everyone in your contacts, your microphone or your camera.
And being hacked left and right
OK this hilarious. Guess who owns this domain. It is Sky UK
Sky are a bunch of bastards.
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.
legal streams already do
Technically the legal stream tell you.

compared to legal sites stealing your personal data after telling you (it’s buried among the 100+ pages TOS you agreed to)
as opposed to the legal services where youre forced to hand it over along with paying exorbitant prices for a tiny catalogue
I went to their website just to have a laugh. This is some real shizo propaganda.
You could replace all of it with: Only watch self sourced pirated media! Paying and relying on any service has inherent risks
“1 in 3 (32%) people who illegally stream in the UK say they, or someone they know, have been a victim of fraud, scams, or identity theft as a result.”
320/1000 people know someone stupid enough to fall for a scam.
This risk increases significantly when users exchange credit or debit card information to view content on unregulated and illicit websites.
If you pay for your pirated content you are doing it wrong.
Watching content via an illicit source can expose younger viewers to age-inappropriate content. These unauthorised websites, devices, apps, add-ons, and the content they can access have no parental controls.
My kids get a tablet exclusively pointing to a private media server in order to obtain the parental controls for-profit services just don’t provide. I banned YouTube kids, it was a shitfest.
320/1000 people know someone stupid enough to fall for a scam.
Correction: 320/1000 people know someone unlucky enough to fall for a scam. Plenty of very smart people fall for scams. All it takes is some lucky timing on the part of the scammer, where enough happens to be correct that they miss/overlook whatever tells might be present until it’s too late
This risk increases significantly when users exchange credit or debit card information to view content on unregulated and illicit websites.
I mean, providing payment information to legitimate services is always a risk. There’s so freaking many breaches that you simply have to assume your card will see fraudulent charges sooner or later and watch your statements for the unexpected activity so you can stop and reverse the charges before you miss the deadline
If you pay for your pirated content you are doing it wrong
I don’t think I am, it’s Usenet and a VPN, and costs less than my Spotify Family account.
But this is paying for a service that’s used to obtain content, not directly for the content
