was a joke, but probably not, they know theyre gonna get pirated left and right, why not monetize it
as i understand it the box is allowed because it doesnt directly pirate anything. Its the users pirating it. >From a political standpoint theyre golden, the left wont come after them in legislation because they want everything free and the right wont come after them because holding a manufacturer responsible for a users action opens up the gun manufacturer door. The content streams are hosted in places where copyright isnt enforced and mandatory ISP filtering isnt a thing that will ever work. Im guessing it operates botnet style where a C&C keeps the content servers updated as they get shut down and have to move. What I dont understand is how the maintenance is paid on that infrastructure with the one time fee model. I wonder if its security through obscurity where they infrastructure houses a lot of the actual bad internet stuff, but since its hammered by housewives using the box to watch the view and charmed, authorities have a harder time filtering the bad content actors. May have to collect packets to see how much content the bosses is serving outward onion On Tue, Nov 26, 2024 at 12:22 PM Bill Prince <part15...@gmail.com> wrote: > I wouldn't see how Netflix would invest if they're one of the ones being > pirated. > > It was not clear to me that the box circumvented regular streaming > content, as they did not really call out the fact that you could get > Netflix *(etc.) without subscribing to same. > > > bp > <part15sbs{at}gmail{dot}com> > > On 11/26/2024 9:35 AM, Steve Jones wrote: > > theyre selling them again.
