Sixteen well-known suppliers active in the UK pirate IPTV market have been selected by broadcaster Sky to star in a new phase of the company's ISP blocking program. A new order obtained at the High Court is technically an extension of an existing order won last year. However, with significant tweaks, upgrades and an extremely determined opponent, pirates may be about to face their toughest challenge yet.

You're right, but from my pov.. this is good news for us to became more aware, to have a strong will create another alternatives or solutions together that offers better way than what we already got right now.

I mean.. We are ethically / ilegally pirating right now, so imo this is normal news.

Oh! Don't get me wrong; it's appropriate content for the sub. It's just, lately, the only content in the sub.

I love your combo "ethically but illegally." There needs to be a term that means that. It applies to so much.

It's always ethical to "steal" from greedy corporations. It's just a form of wealth redistribution from the rich to the poor. If we can't achieve that outcome legally, then the whole system is unethical, including the legal system.

And we are that redistribution agent / greedy corporation watcher, to make sure wealth-equilibrium has received by the poor, for gain access what the rich only have. Thanks admin for further my vision and mission insight..

There are alternatives, but people don't move to them, so they don't improve. I2P is a good alternative for torrent, but not many people want to move to it.
