It’s not theft. It’s copying or copyright infringement.
If it was theft, the owners wouldn’t have it anymore.
The words matter because they change your moral intuition about it.
Thank you! This is such an important distinction.
It will be interesting to see how the MPAA tackles Hotfile now that they are restricted in the language they can use. It probably means that the term “copyright infringement” will be used more often than they had hoped.
To be continued.
This was written back in 2013. Does anyone know how that shook out?
Dodgy boxes have been a massive thing here, and there’s so much fearmongering in the news about how they’ll steal your internet, bank details and firstborn child, when they’re literally just amazon firesticks with some apks on them.
i mean it’s partially true… many of those weird android tv boxes have spyware loaded onto them, mostly for botnet/residential proxies and sometimes infostealers.
I don’t doubt that, but these are just firesticks. They’re not even rooted.

All the public iptv things for british/irish channels get aggressively taken down by sky (company), so it’s probably more sustainable for these to exist this way.
yeah, theyre really perfect for the average person who doesnt know shit about piracy
It would be nice if I could know how to use these services without some “box” or “app”
https://iptv.surf/ <- Start here
https://ottiptvprovider.com/search <- Helps find the provider with the channels you’re looking for
https://search.streamcheck.pro/ <- Checks the quality of each provider
The article explains that the key services are tied to the hardware & probably controlled (with an attempt at plausible deniability) by the hardware vendors.
Guess someone now needs to come up with a a way to pirate these pirate services 😁
https://github.com/iptv-org/iptv – this has a lot of american channels in my experience.
Way ahead of you here. Stopped watching TV entirely in the early 1990s.
LibreElec installed on a raspberry pi 4 with a real debrid sub will get you pretty much the same thing for less money.
you wouldn’t download a television
I wouldn’t mind learning all this magic, seems interesting
