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 love how they always assume pirates would be buying this shitty content at $3/episode in the absence of piracy. They’d be playing videogames or listening to music or podcasts if this crap wasn’t free.
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
25g of saw dust in 75g of beef = 100g of beef.
math checks out sir!
I think cops are just getting fucked over by dealers so they don’t know the real prices

“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’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.
