I’ve been unmotivated in the past but i think it’s time to sort out an alternative.

    Was at the fair and some lady was loudly announcing selling a streaming device that would stream all movies and shows for free. I asked how she could do that legally? She said Congress in 2011 passed the streaming act. Said any movie or show that is streamed once is by law afterwards public domain.

    Someone should tell Disney Plus. Does anyone heard of this?

        What I was thinking. I.was trying to figure out how she was allowed to have a booth at the fair. Damn wish I taken a pic it was a large booth and she had several tvs up. It was definitely a streaming device that was pirating shows and movies.

        I heard of these boxes online before but if I remember correctly they worked for a time before suddenly being blocked or whatever then you just have a brick of a device.

          They can’t brick the box, they take down the IPTV server and most people just don’t have the knowledge to find another and put the url in the app.

            Well this is the Tulsa Oklahoma state fair most people that would buy one of those boxes are not the brightest bunch.
