Flawless IPTV operators sentenced to 30 years in prison

jar · June 2023

Like you said before, end of an era. But beginning of a new one. The last few years lawlessness and anarchy seems
to have become comfortable for a lot of people (I don't just mean it politically but you can easily take that from it and draw a fitting mental picture from multiple perspectives), but we all knew the holders of the wealth wouldn't let the peasants go without punishment forever.

Granted, this was anything but a peasant. It's the rest of us that might have been their customers, that would be the peasants. They'll serve as an example to keep the rest of us in line.

I cited it not long ago but I found it so funny it keeps returning to my mind: That a local woman advertised a local IPTV service on Facebook in local groups, knowing full well it's illegal and that she was just repackaging that wonderful GitHub repo. It was hilarious but also made a good example of how comfortable people have become breaking the law.

Now I've not much respect for law myself, I tolerate it and comply because it's upheld by a gun and I'm not exactly an army, but I did have a greater appreciation for a time when breaking the law felt like something that carried weight and responsibility. I don't like people like that woman on Facebook, just stealing from others to get fatter. Like @default said, you made your money, go start something that doesn't end in jail. Can't be a warlord without an army.
