People are getting poorer while rich are getting richer, any government that would try to fight on piracy is just asking to get ousted.

That's why countries like Russia for instance are so lackluster on piracy, they sure have ways to monitor their citizens but they know very well that you don't mess with entertainment.

Romans knew that thousands of years ago, you would have to be the biggest bell end to not understand that.

> five people were jailed for more than 30 years for selling subscriptions to illegal streaming networks.

Rapist get between 10 and 20 in my country, murder is around 20 and only assassination is getting to 30. In what civilized countries is selling illegal streaming subscription worth 30 years of jail ?

After searching internet, Seems like they were 5 and each got around 6 years, so it's 30 years total. Makes more sense, don't know if the wording was bad or my brain tired.



My vote goes to that sentence being terrible. It's like saying I was at the beach with my family for 12 hours. But we were there for 3 hours and there are 4 of us...
