Highlighted moments

You're not buying these things from some shady guy in a dark alley who you know is 100% illegal and is probably scamming you. You're buying it from a soccer mom, a guy with a stand at the farmers market, your church friend, family members, gym buddies, co-workers.
whenever Jason finds a SuperBox advertised for less than the company's suggested retail price, he buys it and sells it back to the company for a premium. He says that the SuperBox maker then checks the device's MAC address against a list of past sales and remotely deactivates all boxes it sold to the reseller who openly advertised the unauthorized discount.
y'all are out here sending these ISP letters to a single mom because she wanted to download Shrek 2 for her kids. But we're not doing anything about this entire network of bootleg streaming devices.
