For a moment, it seemed like the streaming apps were the things that could save us from the hegemony of cable TV—a system where you had to pay for a ton of stuff you didn’t want to watch so you could see the handful of things you were actually interested in.

    Idk I think it’s just not worth those countries time to waste resources on individual piracy, just to enforce American copyright. The Netherlands is probably worried about protecting their own content, and regardless, it’s the seedbox company taking most of the risk. You lived there so you’d probably know better but I haven’t heard of anyone in the Netherlands being prosecuted, and definitely not anyone in North America being prosecuted for what’s on a NL server. Idk its always risky I guess but seedboxes seem to minimize the risk similar to a VPN and come with other benefits if you’re into private trackers etc.
