There is a guy here who sets it up for you. Forgot his name.
Not sure how good it is.
Maybe others can chime in who know about it.
If there is "a guy who sets it up" for you - rather than an actual company or device you can buy at an actual store, then it's probably BitTorent or similar. What they're doing is setting you up with a "jailbroken" Amazon Firestick (which you can do yourself), and hooking you up with paid services that you now don't have to pay for. In other words, they're providing you with a way to steal intellectual property.

If you have no morals or ethics, or just don't care one way or another, great. But it's important to understand what it is you're doing - so that in case you DO have morals or ethics, you can make the decision that better suits you.

It's also important to know that - while it's rare for anyone to get caught - on the offchance that you DO get caught, there could be lawsuits involved (I don't believe anyone has actually gone to jail for it even though it's technically a crime).
