Yea and when you legally stream them the mouse can legally kill you
legal streams already do
Pretty much everything does, even your car will and I would totally download a car if I could.
please first download an oil change
Lmao they even have the pre-1800 British flag on their site.
They could steal your personal data without you knowing
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.
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.
I despise vandalism, but sometimes I feel an exception can be made
Remember kids: Torrents and Jellyfin are the only way.
I heartedly recommend Usenet. Bit more involved setting up than torrents but if you’re looking for fast and quality content then this is the way.
They could steal your personal data without you knowing.
So very ironic when it’s the opposite between them.
Legal stuff isn’t much better these days. Advertisements unless you pau more, user tracking regardless, etc.
Massive data collection and then getting hacked with no legal ramifications.
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!
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.

It’s insane that this is even legal.
I feel like it isn’t? Like isn’t that just false advertising?

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 🙄
Don’t do illegal drugs, kids! You could get in trouble, because they’re illegal.
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.
people being arrested for using pirate streaming services
What circumstances does that even happen in? Like a bar that plays a pirated sports stream?
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?
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.
does this mean if I pay for streaming my privacy will be respected
🤔
Huh, I didn’t think emojis would be italicized. Interesting.
- Normal: 🤔

They don’t show up italicised for me (iOS)
The show up italicized for me, iOS Thunder app
To ask…
You dropped this - /s
You should use legal streams that you pay for so you know they’re stealing your personal data!
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.
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
I agree i should have used different words, scam-ableism is counter productive to educate about traps.
I am pretty sure my dad fell for one of these because an ad popt up trying to pay a digital parking meter.
Though he wasn’t trying to get access to illegal content what people behind this campaign are alluding towards.
Scams come in so many shapes and forms, there is accidental click and there is “looked like an official Netflix page”. How many people will knowingly pay for something they know is available for free?
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
And you can pay with crypto, not providing any personal information at all
Thought this was a Republican ad for a second. Similar language and appeal to fear and ignorance.
