Yes you’ll probably get away with it, with or without a VPN. It’s still illegal.

Yes it is. I know someone who subscribes to one but I can not find any case online where the consumer was fined or threatened with a lawsuit. He thinks it is legal. Apparently the law is not as clear cut as it was with piracy using torrenting. It has something to do with the fact that the person is not recording or storing it on a file. There is a difference between streaming and downloading.
The law is called Protecting Lawful Streaming Act of 2020 (PLSA).
If anyone can provide an example where the end user was punished in any way for watching an illegal IPTV stream please post it on this thread. Because if they ever do crack down on the end user it will be easy to find them since there is a money trail.
Thanks.
