The streams are coming from inside the house.

Legal streams let something worse than criminals in. Lawful criminals.

Who are they stealing my personal data from, corporation?? Are they stealing it from me or from you??

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago

they could steal your personal data without you knowing

Is that supposed to be more intimidating than corporations stealing my personal data with or without me knowing?

The only thing I'm at risk of is receiving a warning from my ISP :(

I'll get a VPN one day I promise

incredibly disappointed that's not a pirate streaming site

My firewall is blocking that web server. Meaning they're probably using it to host trackers...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That's not really how that works.

If you wanted to "host a tracker" you wouldn't do it from the same IP address you're hosting Web pages on.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

it's either on the blacklist because it's hosting a domain for 3rd party cookies or hosting advertisements. You've got to remember that from the perspective of these corpos, they're not actually doing anything nefarious, and they can host multiple vhosts from the same IP. Now, I haven't looked into it it's being blocked by an IP blacklist at the firewall, or a DNS advertisement blacklist.

But in short, I disagree. It is how that works.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

If you're "hosting a tracker" you want an IP you can change as often as you like.

If you're hosting a website you want an IP that never changes.

IPv6 is free and IPv4 is very cheap.

Even in the extraordinarily unlikely circumstance they really are hosting both on the same infrastructure, they aren't going to use the same IP.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago

Let's assume for the sake of argument that you're right. The IP has never been used for anything nefarious, and it's not being actively blacklisted. Oh my word! It suddenly started working! You fixed it :) thank you.

Has a VPN and an ad-blocker I'm good homie, but fuck they know about this now.... That explains where the fuck kimcartoon went

"1 in 10 people believe they are not at risk when using illicit sources to watch TV, film or sports."

ONE in ten? Man, they're even bad at cherry picking statistics 😂

They even cite a study with only 1,000 participants for their statistic that "32% OF PEOPLE HAVE BEEN VICTIMS OF FRAUD"

In the title, at least. The body of that claim's card says that it's the people, or someone they know that have been victims of fraud.

Gosh, I hate dishonest scare marketing campaigns.

More crime is committed in the making of media than in pirating it.

Also more wrongdoing against society and the public that the justice department couldn't be bothered with (so doesn't count as crime).

Pirate it all or don't watch it.

Pirate it all or don't watch it.

Been living by this for decades since I learned from my highschool computer science teacher that it was even possible. I'm 50 now and I have paid only twice for tv and movies in my adult life.

Yea and when you legally stream the mouse can legally kill you

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Clarification: The Mouse as in Disney Corporation not as in the thing you use to move your pointer.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Oh, if Disney Corp could use the mouse pointer or the one on your desk, or even a living breathing mouse, or whatever else mouse or not rest assured - if killing you somehow benefits them they'll do it. They might do it from sheer incompetence too and they'll try to write it off as business as usual. Also, it applies to anyone you know for good measure.
