You can buy an ONN brand Android TV box at Walmart for $20.  But someone puts a 
digital clock on the front and loads a pirate TV app on it, now it’s worth $250 
or $350.  And the hardware isn’t illegal, just like burglar tools and lock 
cutters aren’t illegal.

 

And I notice these magic free TV box companies don’t say anything about being 
able to watch network affiliates and cable channels and NFL and Netflix for 
free on their website, they put that on their social media site and Youtube 
videos.  Plausible deniability anyone?  Yet I get carded if I buy a can of 
spray paint at Home Depot.  You never know, I might be that criminal Banksy.

Except in US politics now, where SCOTUS has allowed "donations" directly to 
officials now...

Just like it is illegal to bribe someone anywhere on the planet.  

 

That’s why I just tip them.

Watermarked or not, I would expect companies like Netflix/Hulu/Amazon to let 
into the wild "poisoned content" that might just brick a SuperBox. That's 
probably what I might do.

Then the SuperBox streams from the pirate servers.

So this gives access to some pirate channels, or does it somehow pirate regular 
streaming channels like Netflix, Prime Video, Hulu, Max, etc.?

Easy access to pirated content. They make people think that for the added price 
they get all the content for free. I suppose they sort of do, but there is 
certainly a non-zero chance it will become unavailable within months of the 
purchase.
