Comment on This was the original control for cable TV. And if you bribed the install guy with cash he would set it to give you premium channels you didn't pay for
wrong. Back then they had no way to track it
If you pay someone for a pirated stream of a game you’re still paying for it. Doesn’t matter if it’s tracked or not.
But part of the point of the piracy is not just to get it for free, but to send a message that you’re not paying the publishers or IP owners
Most people don’t pay for a single pirate stream; they pay for a collection of them.
