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.
I’m all for piracy but the moment you start charging for the content you’re part of the problem and colossally stupid.Edit: reading it again and it’s actually unclear how exactly the “service” works. I don’t know why I initially thought it definitely involved payment
“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?
Yeah that’s probably why
