@yvan I'm curious to know what the legislation is that makes this a criminal offence (as opposed to a civil offence) - outside of the TV Licence law (which I think we can all agree shouldn't be part of the criminal justice system).
I can see how cracking a Firestick (or Roku or whatever) might infringe patents, or lead to loss of revenue by streaming platforms, but that is surely a civil matter, not criminal.
As to "just" possessing one of these - with no evidence of use - I would again be fascinated if there's any statute or case law to prevent ownership.
