    Seen a sign saying 'piracy is bad' and gone 'oh yeah, now you mention it you're right' and turned off what they were watching?

    Also in what other scenario would you buy a product and have them tell you that piracy is wrong half way through what you have paid for?

    On a similar theme, when filling in my tax return, there was a question "Have you taken part in any tax avoidance schemes". I wonder how many people put "Yes"?

    I think we paid 20 quid for a card that gave us all the channels free (including the naughty ones :p) and that worked right until the actual service went under and stopped broadcasting

    other year i bought an "openbox" for around £60 which included a years sky, you actually need to connect it to the dish and was proper live mirroring skytv
    all you needed was crappy internet to activate the server, no streaming needed

    I always used to think that when they put the piracy adverts at the beginning of videos. Not great when the obvious response is "I wish I had, I'd be watching the film about now."

    NHS track and trace people have constantly been ringing me to check if I have been self isolating.

    When they rang me today I told them to call me later as I was just heading out to an illegal rave.

    I think the theory is that it removes the ability to plead ignorance. I don't know quite what it accomplishes though as nobody will ever be prosecuted for watching an illegal stream.

    I find it hilarious that you can tell on social media who’s watching a dodgy stream and who isn’t as the tweets and Facebook posts are about three minutes behind.

    Bizarre correlation between those folk and the ones who complain or suggest the owners are pocketing money/not willing to spend.
