If they would only follow crimes where people actually get hurt with the same passion as when wallets of corporations are hurt.

Think about all the sad kids of the shareholders and executives when they only had 25 instead of 27 gifts under the christmas tree. How could you be so cruel?
Well some of them are a lot bigger than last year!
won't fucking ever happen in this version of government
Your comment immediately made me think of the post: https://lemm.ee/post/15060365
Most of the top comments are just full of fear. People are more afraid of companies than their own government. (BTW I'm not saying he should copy the code entirely but changing a few variables and such is enough fuck that "derivative work" mentality for software).
God I'm dyslexic af, I read it as Australia and I'm like why would anybody setup a pirated streaming service here and why wasn't I using it... wasn't until I read "arrests were made in Vienna, Lower Austria, Salzburg, Vorarlberg, and Tyrol" that I worked it out
I'm not even dyslexic and my mind somehow read that as "Australia"
Dozens of us!
What service was this?
it may have been Uptobox and Uptostream
Nah, it was a live broadcast service. It wasn’t a common website, or a file hosting service. It was a local paid IPTV network advertised through word of mouth. Probably sold hacked amazon fire sticks that connected to an IP that was decrypting live tv signals.
Basically: buy a cable tv subscription. Decrypt all the “channels” into IPTV steams. Sell access (probably with pre-configured hardware) to the streams for an amount cheaper than it would be to subscribe to the cable tv service yourself.
