Irdeto busts streaming pirate

[Lupus]

They could just drop the price maybe?

Pirating DStv is an offence under the mental health act!

 

[WanderingMind]

Remember folks it's okay for companies to redefine and change the meaning of buy or bough.
It's okay for them to use buy or bough for something that does not belong to you, instead of the word rent.

So it's okay for me to redefine stealing or pirating as I wish when it comes to digital media.

I don't care for folks who try to make money from piracy, I believe in sharing it for free.

If you hack your DSTV decoder, you are legally allowed to do so, because you bought the item and it becomes your property. This is the view of some learned judges in the South Gauteng High Court.

Monochoice has always fancied itself above the law and likes to make spectacles such as these to scare people. The problem right now is that they're totally irrelevant due to competition but do this to bring attention to themselves.

Shouldn't police detectives be investigating actual serious crimes like, you know, murders and rapes?

they're multitasking. They don't work one case off then move onto the next like a CPU of old.

yea, probably like a laptop with 2GB of RAM running Windows 11

So he was selling DSTV login credentials, and streaming boxes, presumably with DSTV app, and login details already setup. But it appears he was not streaming or re-streaming any content.

Jurgen Johannes Potgieter is suspected of having sold login credentials and Internet streaming pirate devices, according to MultiChoice.

Takealot sell those to. They called Android Media Players

They very cleverly hide behind the Cyber Crime Act, making this a crime against the state and not themselves.

It makes you wonder who's idea all these cybercrime laws were, and who lobbied for them. The government would never have come up with these laws on its own.

As in America, the labels, the content peddlers, and studios lobby for the laws, because they always claim piracy hurts them. When in reality they do not understand simple economics. I guess it's a side effect of using all your brain power to create movies and appease financiers and still stay in touch with celeb gossip.

And reality, got lost a long, long, way down the road, already traveled.

Or give the people what they want.

And Apple TV - lest you offend the Apple Acolyte.

DSTV will rather go into liquidation than do that. This has been going on for over a decade. They won't do it. They simply won't- it's against their principles.

Remember sometimes getting what you want, doesn't always pan out.
