Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me! I raise a toast to honor my many shipmates lost at sea. Salute, mes amis. Drink up me hearties, yo ho!

I mean, screw Bell and other mega corp, sharing is caring... but those dudes are linked to the Hell's Angels so it begs the question "is their service funding the local mafia?"

My moral compass is confused here

I agree with you there. Piracy for profit never seems to attract the most virtuous of characters. Not-for-profit piracy for the people, as a weapon in the fight against oligarchy and enshittification - this is the way.

Is curious.

I share one of my TVHeadend servers with someone in India so they can watch BBC and other DVB/FTA content without having to jump through hoops/VPN's for the many streaming apps that are restricted to UK only IP's.

Come at me, Channel4?

Same. I will abstain from having an opinion on this case, lol.
