    Thought this was a Republican ad for a second. Similar language and appeal to fear and ignorance.

        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 downloaded 2 seasons of 1 tv show and 3 seasons of another in the last month, but I used direct download.

      So, no. I wouldn’t.

      remembers the repacks from 3 weeks ago

      Nevermind.

    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.

    they could steal your personal data without you knowing

    Is that supposed to be more intimidating than corporations stealing my personal data with or without me knowing?

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

        And even if there are legal ramifications. The fines are low enough that its a cost of doing business for the most part. Especially in comparison to the amount of money they make spying. Possibly on top of whatever else they sell depending on the business in question.

        Most insidious part about the whole thing is the fact that most legal stuff is “licensed” rather than owned. A convenient legal fiction to allow them to revoke access at any time and (likely) keep your money.

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

    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.
