IPTV WARNING! ARE THE POLICE COMING FOR YOU?

here we go then a warning to IPTV users

apparently police are going to be paying

home visits to warm Pirates Pirate IPTV

users and to come to your house and

deliver a letter a warning you may even

get an email we're going to go over this

you may have seen it in the news we're

going to go through this article and you

may send it by other YouTubers we're

going to go through it we better read

through it we've had a little think

about it we've asked some questions and

let's find out what's actually going on

and if you're at risk yourself or if

it's a usual technique to try and just

scare people into not doing it okay so

before we do that usually as always if

you can do remember to hit that

subscribe button if you are brand new

here if you're brand new here and a

regular Watcher do try and watch till

the end really helps the channel and if

you find it interesting or you have your

thoughts which I really want to hear

drop me your thoughts whether you think

it's scaremongering or if it's actually

going to happen or if you received a

knock on the door or if you've received

a letter

what are we talking about police pay

home visits to warm pirate IPTV users

this is on torrent freak but don't think

oh you know torrent freak bit scare

mungry because I know a lot of users

have that opinion of Torment freak but

it's all over the Internet you would

have seen it all over Facebook

uh Twitter everywhere please pay home

visits please warn pirate IPTV users it

was on Joe it was on lad Bible

but it's on Reddit please visit a

thousand homes in Crackdown it's

everywhere throughout the news if you

search it on Google

okay it's all there but we're going to

read it from torrent freak I actually

like torment freak because it's focused

more around the streaming side I think

rather than other

um media Outlets focus more around the

scare mongering and the

police side of things shall we say so

this is in the UK but if you are in the

USA do pay attention because it can

happen anywhere or happen

anti-piracy group effect is helping UK

police to deliver warning messages to

alleged pirate IPTV users instead of

Simply sending letters in the mail some

cease and deceased notices will be

delivered in person a recent IPTV

Crackdown resulted in the identification

of over a thousand subscribers who will

be asked to immediately stop any illegal

activity or else

so

first thing up there there was a raid an

IPTV service got shut down

there was a big Crackdown and obviously

their information has been taken this is

something I covered months ago for

anybody who uses an IPTV

um they have information on you you will

pay through them you will pay them they

will have your details

simple as that IPTV has your details

they will have your information and they

a lot of them will know what you're

actually watching by your IP address

obviously

paid services do the same a paid service

like Amazon Prime Netflix by your IP

address will know what you are watching

it's the same way that's how they know

you're online that's how it works

simple okay offering pirate streaming

services is a serious offense in the UK

where several vendors have received

multi-year prison centers in recent

history

that's all for offering pirate streaming

services the headlines about users

watching at home but that bit there is

about offering

okay how are they going to know

who to visit which thousand people the

first thing they will go on is people's

IP address so there's a high chance

they're going to go and knock on

ipvanish's door nordvpn's door IVC vpn's

door because that'll be the IP address a

lot of people who use services online

would use because

majority of people would use a VPN if

they were using a IPTV service okay

these sentences haven't deterred others

from following in their footsteps

illegal access to paid sports and TV

content remains reli readily available

with vendors and operators profiting

from the unauthorized subscriptions

last month anti-piracy group fact

announced that one of these IPTV

operations had been disrupted

uh Worcester trading standards officers

helped by West Mercier police fact and

BT seized a variety of equipment and

identified a main target so this is

Target

so they've raided him they've taken his

computer then apparently they have all

your users information

knocking on Pirate's door sounds like a

song doesn't it the alleged operator of

the service now faces a criminal

prosecution which as we've seen in other

cases may lead to a serious sentence

more surprising perhaps is the fact that

subscribers are in the crosshairs too

this month

fact then police will pay home visits to

people who use illegal streaming

services

Services these people more than a

thousand in total were presumably

identified Following last month's raid

by the police

so what they're going to do come knock

on your door excuse me sir we believe

you've been using IPTV service nope

sorry no I haven't okay please take this

letter okay

this month some of them will receive a

knock on the door paired with an

in-person warning so it's a warning

throughout the January

fact and police are visiting homes

across the UK serving notices to

individuals to cease illegal streaming

activities with immediate effect and

informing users of the associated risks

which include criminal prosecution fact

writes in a press release so facts focus

a lot on criminal prosecution but

majority would come down more likely to

a civil prosecution as well for an end

user

um a seller's a bit different but an end

user you would think it would come under

civil but I am no lawyer folks okay so

if you're using IPTV uh we don't condone

it here we don't advertise it here what

you decide to do is your choice and this

is just my opinions on here do not take

my advice for legality or anything like

that we're just going through the

article and you're hearing my opinions

on it they would ask you you're going to

get a warning and anybody who gets that

warning are going to be a bit worried

normally how you see a lot of this works

when they send out letters

they blanket send out letters like skydo

BT do they sit and even your internet

service provider will email 50 000

people and if you read it and it said

we've detected you've been using a

illegal streaming service please stop

now and if you have been using that

illegal streaming service you're gonna

think oh I better stop and if you

haven't been using a legal service

you're thinking that's a bit weird let

me phone them up no you haven't been

saying okay that's fine it must have

been a mistake on your account or you

just throw it and Bin it that's spam

so it's a good way for them to scare

people because

they're going to get the people who are

using it and the ones who aren't using

it aren't going to worry or give two

shits simple

these home visits will undoubtedly have

a deterrent effect but how many of the

thousand plus identified users will be

visited remains unknown

so far

we've heard of nothing I've heard of

nobody if you've had a letter and you've

got one through or you've been hand

delivered one or someone knocked on your

door and you want to tell me about it

you're more than happy to comment

underneath or contact me on Twitter or

Facebook via the groups and the pages is

the best way okay all of my socials are

linked directly underneath if you ever

wanted any advice or any tips or if

you're worried about anything do message

me I can't always reply if it's

something I don't know or if it's about

illegal IPTV or streaming apps

but

message me if you have any concerns the

overall theme here we go then prison

sentence for pirate viewers

the overall theme of announcement is

that consumers of pirated streams can't

even say it the consumers of pirated

streams are far from innocent according

to fact the unauthorized activity can

lead to lengthy prison sentences

free consumer not sure here we go then

in 2021 two individuals Paul Faulkner

and Stephen Millington I'm reading that

there I know that name was sentenced to

a total of 16 months in prison for

watching unauthorized streams fact notes

that's a bit brave for watching on

authorized streams this is what a fact

said but these people what is certainly

true that consuming weird word priority

streams is against the law the site to

conviction were not just for the

watching part these two well especially

this one Millington

um used to be the developer of a Kodi

add-on Supremacy and Faulkner operated a

pirate IPTV service so

no prosecutions planned according to

fact as well it's a deterrent and

obviously that's the starting point for

you simple as the usual stuff

personally obviously you take anything

to your own risk when it comes to your

own data and your own information these

IPTV services will be

taken their own risks as well by doing

it we will see how it goes but

obviously we were keeping this announce

those things if you're ever worried

about your information online or ever

worried about people having your

information because people think

streaming streaming isn't illegal it's

just downloading which is but when you

stream you technically download okay due

to the latest European laws and it is

part of English law as well

um was that when you download you when

you stream sorry you download a

temporary file that temporary file is

what you use your buffer for so the

class streaming is downloading here I

know the USA is a little bit different

but again when it comes to your

information no matter what you're using

whether it's official or unofficial

using a VPN will protect your IP address

you will connect to anything with its

official or unofficial via a VPN so the

IP address anybody would have would be

nordvpn's IP address in this instant if

you are interested in nordvpn there is a

link underneath this specifically isn't

a selling post for a VPN so I'm not

going to go too much into it but we

always have a partner on our video and

we are partnered with nordvpn so do have

a check out nordvpn if you are after a

VPN directly underneath

um that stops anybody know what you are

doing online I like to keep myself

private and what I'm doing online

whether it's using Netflix Prime BBC

and there's obviously other things out

there that people can use and if you

want to keep yourself private from the

official people you definitely want to

keep yourself private from The

Unofficial people

just my advice brilliant I better get

going I've been rambling I've been dog

squippy this is the doc squishy Channel

thank you all for watching and I'll see

you soon
