Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ

They could steal your personal data without you knowing.

Hah! Like the "legal" services are much better than that!

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

does this mean if I pay for streaming my privacy will be respected

They could steal your personal data without you knowing.

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

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.

OK this hilarious. Guess who owns this domain. It is Sky UK

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 unlucky 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.

legal streams already do

Remember kids: Torrents and Jellyfin are the only way.

Legal stuff isn't much better these days. Advertisements unless you pau more, user tracking regardless, etc.

That's why you torremt

Yea and when you legally stream the mouse can legally kill you

Lmao they even have the pre-1800 British flag on their site.

lol

You don’t use the C:/> </ terminal prefix and suffix prompt on your smartphone?

Legal Streams

as opposed to the legal services where youre forced to hand it over along with paying exorbitant prices for a tiny catalogue

Last time I tried to stream a hockey game legally it just wouldn't ever load. I went back to the pirate stream.

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.

You wouldn't download a torrent

This actually happened to me once. I illegally streamed a show and then this Italian guy Vinnie the Foot blasts through my screen. Nice guy. Asked for a towel, I made him an espresso, we watched movies and smoked cigars til sunrise.

If it wasn't across a train line it'll make more sense if someone plaster over the "il" in "illegal"

"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.

I have one of these on a billboard near my house. Every time I feel sad, I just look up to it as I'm passing by and it gives me a chuckle. I think they actually updated it recently. These posters are in the UK for anyone wondering. And this one in particular is in the London Underground.

Legal streams let something worse than criminals in. Lawful criminals.
