Foxtel pirate convicted of criminal offences, with subscription TV operator ‘welcoming’ decision
Foxtel has said it will support the conviction and sentencing of a Sydney man who sold un-authorised access to Foxtel services to more than 8,000 Australians.
Haidar Majid Salam Al Baghdadi was convicted for criminal offences after he operated an illegal network which allowed Australians to access Foxtel subscription television broadcasts.
Foxtel is the provider of HBO’s Game of Thrones – a show which has been heavily pirated in the past
It’s not intellectual property…. it’s direct product theft
Gee, they really cracked down and bared their teeth with that harsh penalty of……….. NOTHING!
That’s really going to scare people away from committing this crime.
Weak as piss.
Argghhhh matey
He got off easy, they should’ve made him walk the plank
A suspended sentence? What else? He’s a protected species…
He should have had the book thrown at him!
I agree, they should have downloaded an E-book illegally and thrown it at him 🙂
Why did the pirate pirate Foxtel?
Because he loves to watch E arghhhh
what was the conviction? just recorded. suspended sentence? right. that’s really being tough and enforcing the law. in other words a waste of time an money
Criminal record
