Subscribers are less likely to be at risk than providers. But it does depend on what country you live in.

If you’re worried, you can do the following:

• Buy a subscription using bitcoin and a non traceable email address
• Sign up with a fake name and address
• Use a privacy focused VPN anytime you’re watching IPTV

depends on your home country I suppose. in some countries streaming is also considered piracy. to be fair though, they rarely go after the clients in Europe. at most the provider will vanish and you lose your subscription so don't ever subscribe for more than 3 months unless the deal for more is close to the same price

Currently under the US law it is not illegal to repackage or resell IPTV. The FCC has held that the IPTV resales do not violate any franchise or exclusivity agreements with cable providers under federal law. Also, if you are reselling broadcasts that are available online streaming on foreign servers as part of your IPTV packaging , courts have held this would not be a violation of the copyrights laws in the US.

for non legal things you are never safe :)

there are just a few ways to stay unknown but even then you can be catched

depends on country etc.

Same risk ? No, not at all

The subscribers risk level so to speak would mostly come from your ISP. What that 'risk' is depends on countries and such. USA ISP's would go with whatever their process for "piracy" is...warning (however many) > then terminate.

But that would mostly having NOTHING to do with if the IPTV provider got busted, as most ISP's if not all generally work based on DMCA reports of 'User X' IP Address. Really doesn't work the same with IPTV, they'd probably have to be actively looking for indications on their network that customers / you are watching illegal / pirate streams to generalize...

​

When IPTV providers get shut down it's the "owners" or people part of running the service that are going to get in trouble. Customers are little fish and would take too many resources for the LAW to go after each user. Their goal is to shut the service down and punish those that ran it, not piss around with someone who chose to pay for it.

​

You can search "iptv providers shut down" or something along those lines and read the past articles about IPTV Providers that have gotten busted. There's really no mention of them going after anyone beyond the providers infrastructure. Doesn't mean they never have (or the articles just didn't write about it), but it's unlikely you or other millions of people using illegal IPTV would draw much interest for law enforcement resources.

​

You were given some tips in one of the other replies for staying more anonymous. Regardless if you take all those steps. I have and will always recommend VPN's for anything black/greyhat in nature. You're better off leaving as minimal a trail as possible.

​

As mentioned though your risk profile partly depends where you live and how serious they are on certain shit.

Not wanting to tempt fate, but I'm UK resident and was a subscriber to ACE and FAB at the time they went pop.

In both cases I received emails from the Administrators (ie insolvency practitioners appointed to manage their affairs/debts/etc). These emails are standard and are required by law to be sent to all known creditors of a company entering into an insolvency process.

As yet, I have had nothing more...troubling.

You’re pretty safe in Canada as a subscriber. Streaming remains a grey zone here. With no route for prosecution.

Mojo TV, a new IPTV service provides thousands of channels all over the world, and is perfectly legal on both sides. Though some can wonder, how can a service with thousands of channels and movies be this inexpensive ($35/mo)? Simply, the company has agreements with bigger broadcasting companies to redistribute content.
