Global Axxess bites the dust

[Kevin Lancaster]

Global Axxess shut down

Legal pressure has forced Axxess to shut down its Global Axxess service, which allowed access to services like Netflix and Hulu

You can all thank crackersa. He was the one that reported them to the Internet sherrif.

People should continue using UntoTelly. A really cheap and effective service that does the same thing.

Or Hola which is free.

I knew this was coming the moment I saw the original news article on MyBB!

I should have post it at the time so that I could quote myself now

Perhaps Monochoice exerted legal pressure?Sure as hell smells like it.But hey,my conspiracy theory.

/facepalm

This is why South Africans can't have nice things.

Realistically, who else would? I mean they are the only ones standing to lose. All the ISPs are pushing streaming as an alternative to torrents so the only one left is MC (and maybe whatever DMCA org there is here).

 

[Petec]

monochoice strikes again.

Buuuuut, the more they try stop this type of thing, the more it's going to happen.

Are you serious?

What a nut, these services needs exposure in SA to allow its development and feasibility, it is only way to identify it as a viable solution in order to relax the law on these matters.

 

[DrJohnZoidberg]

Well that escalated quickly.

Realistically, who else would?

Vidi's a more direct competitor and certainly has more to lose than Multichoice from the service.

Or it could just be some random a-hole that doesn't like to see other people have nice things.

That also is a strong possibility.

Name and shame them here

Vidi is relatively new from what I gather and doesn't really have the clout of MC.

At least there's torrents.

At least there's torrents.

I prefer to read the news.

So are they prepared to reimburse anyone who signed up for Netflix/Hulu because of this? I doubt there would be too many people considering the short time frame, but I'm sure there must be a couple.

 

[JerryMungo]

While I don't begrudge them for closing it, I have to wonder whether this would have ever gone anywhere in court. What exactly is illegal about it again?
