Can i assume those are considered pirated and might face crackdown by authority?
Based on my understanding, govt will go after the suppliers.
It is like chewing gum, it is not illegal to use the item , but it is illegal to sell.

I remember reading about some people kenna sued by the TV company directly for watching such shows via the Internet.
They got a court order to force the ISP to reveal the identities of those IP addresses who watched the illegal shows .
It was some time ago so I can’t find the article again .
But that is the risk faced by consumers .
