A crackdown on Amazon Fire Sticks has seen ‘home visits’ in 17 areas across the UK. It comes as Amazon attempts to make it harder for sticks to be used for illegal streaming.Authorities recently stepped up action against free streaming after piracy apps allowed Fire Stick owners to watch premium TV without paying the creators or broadcasters. In a bid to combat illegal streaming Amazon has configured its latest Fire Stick block which means that even VPNs won’t let TV pirates get around it. The device-level block means that if Fire Stick owners try to launch their “dodgy” apps, they simply won’t load. It’s left TV pirates scrambling for alternative ways of illegalling streaming content which can cause three risks of serious danger in the wake of the ban. What is your take on the move ?
