Well, they overcome one system & another springs up......piracy will never be
Piracy will never be shut down, attempts to do so cost millions & years to develop & implement. Sly eventually blocked c/s & iptv sprang up in it's place. Accessing IPTV is very cheap & the pirates make vastly more money from it than they ever did with c/s & that is the only reason c/s has not returned. Pirates join forces to increase content & evolve the service......there are vast amounts of iptv servers dotted all over europe all operated by a just a few organised crime operators who make vast amounts of money from it. The cheapest system proliferates but when that system is blocked, they overcome & counter & if that is not viable, they have a contingency to replace it. Just a small team of hackers, experts in encryption methods some of whom developed the technology for sky etc, devised the c/s piracy & most definitely have the fix, but iptv is a far bigger moneyspinner, so that is favoured. If iptv can be blocked, then their plan b exploit will be implemented.....the corporations are always caught with their pants down & it takes them years to develop counters.......whilst, in this time, the pirates work on their contingencies. Since sat tv services became available in about 1990 in the uk, i have never been without pirate access.
