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.
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.
Given the cops can show up and harrass you in the UK it might be an actual criminal offence at this point over there.
