Police Shut Down Pirate Streaming Network That Cost Broadcaster 'Millions' * TorrentFreak

Following a complaint filed two years ago by a national pay-TV broadcaster, police in Germany say they now have three main suspects in custody following a huge law enforcement operation. Over 150 officers carried out searches against 18 suspects in 17 locations, with the aim of shutting down an as-yet unnamed illegal streaming operation with an estimated 30,000 subscribers. The three men, aged between 36 and 59, face charges including suspected commercial computer fraud, which carries a potential sentence of 10 years imprisonment.

- Drug busts are always valued at inflated prices too...
  Just classic bad faith behavior by the state to justify oppression of the working people
  
  a gram of coke in a kilo of flour is a kilo of coke
  
  I think cops are just getting fucked over by dealers so they don’t know the real prices
  
  "Street value" /s
- Yeah, I wouldn't pay for the shit I download.

Is it x.com? I heard they were illegally streaming a ton of Disney things.

All that taxpayer money wasted on this clown show...
Gonna upload some more Linux isos today
- My thoughts exactly. All this time, money and manpower spent to prevent some people from watching movies.
  Good job assholes, you saved the fuckin day 🙄

Probably one of those AI companies who don’t give a fuck about copyrights
Oh wait..

Salute to the public servants.
- my heart goes out to them

Anytime I see "millions" or "billions" claimed in losses, I assume it's less than that and consider it whining.

I'd love to download all the shit that's been pulled off Netflix since I've been a customer.
They pulled their content,
thus they don't want my money,
thus there should be 0 qualms in me re-acquiring their content.

- "subscribers" definitely sounds like payment... My guess is it was an Iptv operator
  
  It's usually iptv. Why is iptv so much easier to bust?

I want tax authority notice this and this and fuck brodcaster over for underreporting income in next month.
