I feel like that would be really bad for their business and so they’ll be not inclined to do so…

Define hassle? Can be different things for different people Did you check megathread already?

I’m aware of that. But it’s similar I assume to encrypted traffic to, say, a Usenet provider? Where the content itself isn’t identifiable vs just where it’s from (and thus what type).

I ask because vpn makes sense to me for torrents where you seed and thus upload, but I assume there is no uploading with iptv? So unless it’s common for users to be held accountable - I’m trying to understand the purpose in this specific use case.

Is the connection to iptv providers typically not encrypted? I understand the vpn if you just don’t want to be shown interacting at all - but beyond that does it matter?

They DO have free choice to choose. Just as the site is free to choose who they list and what criteria they use for such. They’re not entitled to get listed if they don’t align with the site’s policies.

Choices doesn’t mean free from consequences or entitled to anything you want.

Yep. If you’re really desperate, you could even mess up the WiFi adapter in the tv. Mine actually stopped functioning and I had to open it up to fix it. Now I turned it off and use a separate device for the tv.

Music and software/games. Both are convenient and relatively affordable to access. Software I will try to find non-subscription based or open source options if available.

It really brings me down when I think about how many people died due to the orange turd.
