IPTV, Again

Some weeks back, we talked about IPTV. I gave a rundown on what it is, and my reasons for rejecting those services.

I recently re-read that post, and I'm not really happy with it. I don't disagree with anything I wrote. After all, I gave my thoughts on it, and they haven't changed. But, I don't think I really emphasized what I don't like about IPTV services.

Here it is: IPTV services are a bunch of thieves selling stolen content.

Also, if you support them, you're supporting theft.

There. That's straight to the point.

Am I being a little harsh? Yeah, maybe. But I'm also being truthful, and very blunt about it.

I wonder how many people buy IPTV devices or subscribe to IPTV services -- and I'm talking about pirate TV boxes and pirate TV services -- not realizing just what they are.

People always want to get a good deal on something. And they see all these hundreds and hundreds of channels they can get for a really good price.

The old adage about if it seems too good to be true, it probably is? Yeah, that applies.

Now, if you feel totally different than I do, that's your choice. Am I going to say I respect that choice? No, I'm not. It's theft and I don't respect theft.

If the cost of something means I have to do without it, then I have to do without it. It's simple as that. My Streaming Life isn't complicated. It doesn't have everything, but I'm happy with what I have.
