<p>反版权盗窃联合会（FACT）是英国最大的收集非法流媒体信息的机构，并将其整理后交给相关警方。</p>
<p>FACT 主席基伦·夏普告诉 Yahoo 新闻：“我能理解人们为何会受到诱惑”，但补充道：“这不值得冒险。”</p>
<h2>警方如何抓到使用可疑 Fire Stick 的人？</h2>
<p>夏普表示，执法部门通常通过在调查服务提供商时查获客户信息来发现使用非法流媒体设备的人。</p>
<p>大多数针对非法流媒体服务的执法工作是针对提供商而非用户。</p>
<p>近年来，几起高调案件被起诉，许多提供商因托管非法流媒体服务而被判处多年监禁。</p>
<p>作为证据收集的一部分，警方通常会找到提供商客户的详细信息。</p>
<p>夏普还表示，还有其他方法可以找到用户，他的组织会收集这些信息并传递给警方。</p>
<p>他说，当广播公司或其他与流媒体相关的提供商发现有人非法流媒体的信息时，会将信息传递给他们。</p>
<p>人们还直接联系 Crimestoppers 或 FACT，举报邻居，“因为他们在支付服务费用，而看到其他人没有支付，这让人感到沮丧。”</p>
<p>他说，FACT 会收集所有这些信息并创建一个 “情报产品”，然后 “进行分析，从而给我们提供大多数流媒体可能发生的地方或提供有关非法流媒体信息的最多人的地方的指示。”</p>
<p>FACT 随后会将信息传递给相关的警方机构，警方将决定采取何种行动。</p>
<h2>如果你被抓到会发生什么？</h2>
<p>第一步是发出警告信，有时是由 FACT 发出的，有时是由相关警方发出的。</p>
<p>他说：“我们非常希望不要让每个人都犯罪，也不想起诉每个人。”</p>
<p>警方行动的主要重点是针对提供商，夏普表示，他不知道有任何仅因使用这些服务而被起诉的人。</p>

<p>在电视上跟随你的足球队每年可能花费数百英镑。</p>
<p>夏普表示，他所知道的唯一因使用者被起诉的情况是，他们因消费非法流媒体内容而被指控，同时还涉及提供服务的指控。</p>
<p>29 岁的乔纳森·埃奇在利物浦的家中接受现金交易，出售装有非法流媒体内容的 Fire Stick。2024 年，他认罪并被判入狱三年四个月。</p>
<p>尽管如此，仍然有可能仅因使用非法流媒体服务而被起诉，在这种情况下，他们可能面临无限罚款或最长一年监禁。</p>
<h2>使用可疑 Fire Stick 还有哪些其他风险？</h2>
<p>根据夏普的说法，除了潜在的法律后果，使用非法流媒体服务还涉及许多其他风险。</p>
<p>他说，这些风险包括让自己暴露于 “网络钓鱼、诈骗、盗窃、不适龄内容、病毒、恶意软件等”。</p>
<p>他还表示，他知道有一个非法服务提供商在没有警告的情况下关闭了他们的平台，在这种情况下，用户没有法律途径来追回他们的钱。</p>
<p>夏普补充道：“主要问题实际上是回馈给权利持有者和广播公司的资金，因为如果他们没有得到支付，他们将无法在未来提供这些服务。”</p>
<p>根据 Crimestoppers 收集的数据，2024 年约有五百万非法流媒体棒用户经历了诈骗、病毒或数据盗窃，而 280 万人被黑客攻击——比前一年增加了三分之一。</p>
<p>另外有 150 万用户被盗取资金，260 万用户的连接设备出现了某种问题。</p>
<p>当被问及在观看你最喜欢的球队参加冠军联赛时节省数百英镑是否值得选择非法流媒体服务时，夏普表示。</p>

<p>当局越来越严格打击非法流媒体服务，特别是那些使用 “可疑” Fire Sticks 的服务。虽然许多用户因其低成本而觉得这些服务诱人，但风险包括潜在的法律行动，用户可能面临罚款或监禁。大多数执法工作主要针对服务提供商，而非个人用户，但来自广播公司和公众的举报信息可能会导致调查。用户还面临网络安全风险，包括网络钓鱼和恶意软件。反版权盗窃联合会（FACT）强调，尽管对用户的起诉很少，但法律和财务后果可能是显著的</p>

<div class="lb-trans"><h2>警方如何抓到使用可疑 Fire Stick 的人？</h2>
</div><p>Sharp said the usual way authorities find out about people using illegal streaming devices is by seizing the customer information of providers when they get investigated by the police.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>夏普表示，执法部门通常通过在调查服务提供商时查获客户信息来发现使用非法流媒体设备的人。</p>
</div><p>Most of the policing effort in dealing with illegal streaming services is directed at providers rather than users.</p>

<div class="lb-trans"><p>夏普还表示，还有其他方法可以找到用户，他的组织会收集这些信息并传递给警方。</p>
</div><p>He said information is passed to them from broadcasters or other providers connected to the streaming when they find information that suggests someone is illegally streaming.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>他说，当广播公司或其他与流媒体相关的提供商发现有人非法流媒体的信息时，会将信息传递给他们。</p>
</div><p>People also contact Crimestoppers or FACT directly to inform on their neighbours &#34;because they're paying the service and then seeing somebody else who isn't and that does frustrate people&#34;.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>人们还直接联系 Crimestoppers 或 FACT，举报邻居，“因为他们在支付服务费用，而看到其他人没有支付，这让人感到沮丧。”</p>
</div><p>He said FACT will collect all of this information and create an &#34;intelligence product&#34;, which is then &#34;analysed and then it gives us an indication of where the majority of the streaming might be taking place or where the most people who provide information about illegal streaming are taking place.&#34;</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>他说，FACT 会收集所有这些信息并创建一个 “情报产品”，然后 “进行分析，从而给我们提供大多数流媒体可能发生的地方或提供有关非法流媒体信息的最多人的地方的指示。”</p>

<div class="lb-trans"><p>他说：“我们非常希望不要让每个人都犯罪，也不想起诉每个人。”</p>

<div class="lb-trans"><h2>使用可疑 Fire Stick 还有哪些其他风险？</h2>
</div><p>According to Sharp, along with the potential legal consequences, there was a host of other risks involved with using an illegal streaming service.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>根据夏普的说法，除了潜在的法律后果，使用非法流媒体服务还涉及许多其他风险。</p>
</div><p>He said these include opening yourself up to &#34;phishing, scam, theft, age-inappropriate content, viruses, malware and so on&#34;.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>他说，这些风险包括让自己暴露于 “网络钓鱼、诈骗、盗窃、不适龄内容、病毒、恶意软件等”。</p>
</div><p>He also said he was aware of one illegal service provider that took down their platform without warning, and in situations like this, a user has no legal recourse to reclaim their money.</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>他还表示，他知道有一个非法服务提供商在没有警告的情况下关闭了他们的平台，在这种情况下，用户没有法律途径来追回他们的钱。</p>
</div><p>Sharp added: &#34;The main one really is about the money that goes back to the rights holders and broadcasters because if they're not paid for the services that they provide, they won't be able to provide those services in the future.&#34;</p>
<div class="lb-trans"><p>夏普补充道：“主要问题实际上是回馈给权利持有者和广播公司的资金，因为如果他们没有得到支付，他们将无法在未来提供这些服务。”</p>
</div><p>According to data compiled by Crimestoppers, some five million users of illegal streaming sticks experienced fraud, a virus or data theft in 2024, while 2.8 million were hacked – up a third from the previous year.</p>
