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’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.

    Anytime I see “millions” or “billions” claimed in losses, I assume it’s less than that and consider it whining.
