A tech expert warns that thousands of Scots risk prosecution for illegally streaming TV and films as traditional security measures no longer protect them from detection. 'Dodgy' Fire TV Sticks, offering access to premium content at a fraction of the cost, are popular but face crackdowns by police and FACT, an anti-piracy organization. Authorities warn consumers of illegal content are also under scrutiny, despite some users relying on VPNs for anonymity.
Thousands of Scots risk prosecution for illegally streaming TV and films as traditional security measures no longer protect them from detection by law enforcement agencies, a tech expert has warned.
The authorities have conducted raids on suppliers of these illegal Fire TV Sticks nationwide in recent months, and warn that consumers of illegal content are also under increasing scrutiny. Some VPNs do not collect or store information about what you search for, visit, or download online, making it harder for authorities to trace and prosecute you. However, many VPN providers are disreputable sellers so you should never assume that they are actually willing or able to offer you full protection.
Along with facing serious legal repercussions if you caught with an illegal streaming device, experts warn that the dodgy sticks can be riddled with harmful malware. They can also expose children to inappropriate content, leading to difficult conversations at home and even safeguarding concerns.
