Illegal TV Firesticks

In Britain the government are getting angry with people who use illegal TV firesticks which plug into the back of a TV and give you access to subscription programmes without having to pay. One or two sellers of these sticks have been sent to prison. But the full danger has not been understood.

I must warn you very strongly. If you use these devices it will become impossible for broadcasters to make any money from their subscriptions. In 40 years time, all television programmes will be constantly interrupted by stupid adverts. American adverts make completely impossible claims about their products and services and often interrupt the programme mid sentence when someone is - I used to wear glasses but now I realise all the serious problems people have with their eyesight, not being able to read, floaters, being incredibly short sighted, will instantly disappear if you stand on your head while drinking a glass of water - and often interrupt the programme mid sentence while someone is trying to explain something very important.

You have been warned. Please do not use these devices.
