Following a complaint filed two years ago by a national pay-TV broadcaster, police in Germany say they now have three main suspects in custody following a huge law enforcement operation. Over 150 officers carried out searches against 18 suspects in 17 locations, with the aim of shutting down an as-yet unnamed illegal streaming operation with an estimated 30,000 subscribers. The three men, aged between 36 and 59, face charges including suspected commercial computer fraud, which carries a potential sentence of 10 years imprisonment.

My thoughts exactly. All this time, money and manpower spent to prevent some people from watching movies.

I'd love to download all the shit that's been pulled off Netflix since I've been a customer.

They pulled their content,
thus they don't want my money,
thus there should be 0 qualms in me re-acquiring their content.
