SA ADSL subscribers using torrents being watched

If he does his job well then he could do whatever he likes with his appearance. I think this debate has been had in another thread.

I just can't understand people who want others to look a certain way just because of the work they do.

Obviously there are exceptions that relate to the nature of the work, but in this instance that doesn't apply.
 
In South Africa it would be Naspers (DSTV) that would be pursuing torrent users, no-one else. I very much doubt if overseas companies will even bother with us here unless Naspers is snitching on us to protect their own local broadcasting rights. If there is a smell it comes from Naspers HQ.

For different reasons I care not. For me I have been torrent free for jaaare now. If I am interested in viewing or listening to something of interest, I usually listen to it first on Simfy or alternatively I'll buy it when RRP is dropped to tolerable levels.

I tried to subscibe to Netflix only to be informed that it doesn't operate in RSA - probably because of MultiChoice pressurising the movie suppliers ??

But what are the "good reasons" why it is not available in RSA - but is ok for other countries ? (maybe the good reasons are MultiChoice breathing down the necks of the movie suppliers to protect their monopoly ??)

Most likely no licensing agreement with the content owners, most likely due to Naspers have exclusive deals.

- but is ok for other countries ?

As far as I know, Netflix is only available in 10 of countries:
-USA
-Canada
-Mexico
-Brazil
-UK
-Ireland
-Norway
-Denmark
-Sweden
-Finland

Netflix is planning on launching in the Netherlands later this year, and there are rumours of launch plans for France.

Thetake-up in the Netherlands and/or impact on the dutch internet providers will be quite interesting, as, AFAIK, the Netherlands doesn't have uncapped plans, but very strict network neutrality legislation.

Old news, reported two/three years ago ...
 
This is just another DSTV scam to try and scare people and to stop loosing premium clients.
