IMPORTANT RESELLER INFO Update

by NoPopcornWithThat

IMPORTANT RESELLER FYI quite interesting that the big Hollywood studios are reading Reddit...And their lawyers are using your posts in our subreddits in their complaints.

If you think this is just about VOD, you’re deluding yourselves. There clearly is a larger agenda at hand, and ALL resellers should take note of this before posting anything in any subreddits.

If you think they are not also on discord or Telegram, too, you are sadly mistaken. This is another reason we encourage you not to solicit business here if you are a reseller. READ THE SUBREDDIT RULES, they are there for a reason.

Saddest thing is that they don’t recognize that folks who pay for iptv just can’t hack $200 cable/ sat packages and would rather use these services to save $ which puts more food on their table for their families.

If any studio or lawyer types are reading - some of us can actually afford a subscription but still choose not to because we don't appreciate the feeling of being ripped off. Or as in my case would like channels not available in the countries we currently live in due to archaic licensing restrictions

Would it be possible to have all posts approved by mods? Instead of removing after the fact?

That way if someone posts something it never has to hit the sub?

steal

/stēl/

verb

gerund or present participle: stealing

take (another person's property) without permission or legal right and without intending to return it.

"thieves stole her bicycle"

--

In the dictionary's example, only one party can be in possession of the bicycle--it is scarce in the economic sense. This is why stealing is wrong.

If I copy digital data, I don't deprive anyone of anything except perhaps the resources used in content distribution ("service"). It is not scarce in the economic sense. Copying a thing makes more of it.

If an IPTV feed originates from a legitimate satellite account, there is no theft of service. If there is no theft of service, what is the crime here? Oh, they say, it is "intellectual property".

in·tel·lect

/ˈin(t)lˌekt/

noun

noun: intellect

the faculty of reasoning and understanding objectively, especially with regard to abstract or academic matters.

"he was a man of action rather than of intellect"

It goes without saying that the mind is not a material object. Assuming all parties involved in the production and distribution of "intellectual property" are compensated in accordance with an agreement for their time/labor/resources, where is the the theft?

I recognize that people want to make money, and that they will play by the rules of the game to get that money. However, this doesn't change the fact that copying is not theft. I have no brilliant ideas on what to do differently, but I am reasonably certain that media distribution companies are rent-seeking protection rackets.

Just thought I'd put that out there, FWIW.

They never managed to get after the streaming sites. They got one and five new pages popped up. Hilarious that they want to get after a fringe group of iptv streamers. They milk their customers so heavily that they can afford to waste millions catching ghosts. Good for the lawyers i guess.
