Pirate Apple TV Operation Nabbed In Australia

Posted by samzenpus on from the pirate-channel dept.

littlekorea writes "New South Wales Police have arrested a man selling USB keys bearing the Apple logo, which offered access to over a thousand Pay TV channels, another thousand movies on demand and several hundred adult films. A forensic analysis of the device revealed the content was hosted in China but streamed via US servers and domains."

    Its only several hundred adult films, not several thousand.

    That's what struck me about the story: A thousand channels and a thousand movies, but only several hundred adult films?

    What kind of pervert is making these things???

    Australia is not in the UK. We have our own laws seperate from the empire.

    It would be futile for Australians to hang on to British laws, given that most of them were sent there because they didn't obey them.

    I'm amazed the whole thing was instigated by a Chinese company investigating piracy of their service/product. I thought they were the all time king's of ignoring other people's IP?
