11 years jail sentence seems excessive, the clients weren't that bright either as you can use DAZN with a VPN to gain the same access to the 3pm broadcasts.

Mark Gould?

Wasn't he on PH?

The pyjama bottoms must be a clue??

Drove a shed, black Mondeo estate as I recall???

Might be wrong though?

Don't you have to pay for Dazn and also for a Vpn though ?
Plus Iptv gets you every channel not just the premier league games.....all for £50 a year with some suppliers

11 years is highly excessive compared to other crimes.

I think 11 years was probably inflated due to the revenue accrued and tax dodged.

Incredible amount of money made, they'll be feeling collars on those with bank accounts.

Also seemed to be a paedo involved was it him done for 11 years?

The only experience I've had of IPTV was round a friends house watching boxing on a cracked Firestick, the footage was 480p and at a stuttering low framerate so wasn't worth it imo.
Surprised Amazon haven't cracked down on the sale of the cheap android boxes that are setup out the box for piracy.

True, DAZN used to be only a couple of pounds per month but they've recently jacked up the price five fold, vpns are usually around £40 per year.
VPN's are decent for some sports as lots of countries will stream sports free to air via their websites and have geo restrictions in place to keep external users out which the VPN bypasses.

It's an utter joke IF they only broadcast the games which weren't on UK TV. I'm not sure if they showed Sky games too, probably?
