More effective way would be to follow in Dish Network’s or others footsteps. https://torrentfreak.com/dish-sues-m...-sites-191122/ https://torrentfreak.com/millions-in...gation-191124/ |

| metalhawk | Yep. That's a game of whack-a-mole that the big companies can't win. The solution is to offer a product that people want at a price people want to pay. We were well on the way with Netflix, Prime and Crave (or Hulu in the US) but greed has derailed this at the moment (but that's a discussion for another thread). |

It is not useless as it creates extra work and expense for the pirates. If it does not curb piracy in Canada then I am pretty sure they will ask courts to allow telcos to implement other counter measures. It could be going after IPTV service providers or VPN’s https://torrentfreak.com/gears-reloa...ellcat-191121/ https://torrentfreak.com/bell-asked-...n-vpns-190129/ And I guess I didn't word it properly above. Obviously they aren't blocked yet, but within 24 hours they were already ready to go under a new name and domain name. |

Oh, and GoldTV is already back as SilverTV, and operating as if nothing happened. As I said, useless. It is not useless as it creates extra work and expense for the pirates.

| NeilN | Which is good, and there should be more of these, as long as the process is in no way automated. |

| bev fan | They were recommending apps at Canada Computers that don’t need Kodi to watch movies and shows. Some of those apps have similar interface to Netflix. |

It's NOT illegal to put Kodi on an Android box and sell it. Kodi is a legal media player similar to Windows Media Center that Microsoft bundled with Windows for years. What IS illegal is to also install a Kodi plugin designed to pirate copyrighted material or to sell subscriptions to illegal pirating services. Kodi is not required to download or watch pirated programming. There are a other ways to do that without Kodi and without Android. Android boxes are used because they are cheap, easy to modify and provide a big markup. Banning Android TV boxes would be like banning cars because bank robbers use them as getaway vehicles. Licensed BDUs also use Android boxes for their IPTV services and their software is similar in concept to Kodi. Kodi gets picked on because people see it running pirate software plugins and don't know enough about the technology to differentiate the two. It's like saying Windows Media Player should be banned because they saw someone playing an illegally downloaded movie with it. They didn't see the movie being downloaded from the pirate site so they think Windows Media Player is the culprit. |

I know from my own experience that Canada Computers employees have been encouraging customers to buy hardware and were informing them how to get the apps to watch free tv. What is very funny to me is that Vmedia, Tv and internet provider has been informing their customers on their forum how to download those apps on their android players and Teksavvy has gone to court to protect the rights of pirates. This is what I am always talking about that piracy is seen as something normal in this country and is being encouraged by family members, coworkers friends and now even by big business. LOL. |

| ExDilbert | I believe that items that are used in the commission of a crime can be confiscated and destroyed. Proceeds from criminal activities can also be confiscated. That may include many items such as buildings, automobiles, boats, etc. If the law is strictly enforced, that could theoretically include entire businesses if their assets were primarily obtained through criminal activities. Why not computers that have been modified for piracy and put on a shelf for sale? |

If I walk into Best Buy and have the salesperson show me how to install whatever software hooks into these pirate streams on a HP computer that does not mean HP are going to get their computers destroyed because they are preloaded with software enabling pirating of copyrighted content right off the shelf. |

What a joke. They don't seem to know much about the internet. Google " how to pirate movies" and see all the videos and websites explaining all you need to know. Then go to Best Buy and ask for the device that google, reddit, youtube etc recommend. That's probably where they got their information to begin with. Sue google. My firestick does all that and more. Do I have to destroy it? |
