Information About MyBox People Should Know
My mother-in-law has received a flyer about MyBox and yesterday we also received one. It looked like a very good deal so I went online and did some research and there is a big catch to MyBox that they don't tell you about on those brochures, or directly on their website. I had to go to their blog posts for more information.
myboxnz.com...
The truth is that the way that those channels are provided to you is by illegal streams. It uses software called Kodi which allows you to watch streams which are provided by third-parties. This has some legitimate uses but in this case, for the Sky channels which are advertised on the flyer, they are not legitimate.
So you should consider the following if you want to try MyBox:
* They are being sued by Sky right now. They are arguing that they are just the provider of a platform and that someone else is adding the illegal content to it -- this is the same argument that Kim Dotcom used in the MegaUpload case. However this is undermined by the fact that on their flyers they include the illegal content as a feature -- basically, because of this I don't think they are going to win the lawsuit.
* The service may not survive longer than the lawsuit. It is quite possible that ISPs will be asked to block Kodi traffic in future.
* Downloading the streams themselves may be breaking the law. It is unlikely that an individual would be prosecuted for this but it is a possibility.
Because of how good the deal appears, I felt I should post the information I found which provides the bigger picture. It was honestly really disappointing to find out it was just piracy in a nice package and whatever anyone's views about piracy I think they should know what they are getting into.
Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? π»π¨π
In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?
What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
-
36.2% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
63.8% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)

The Post has been diving into our daily habits, and research suggests being an early bird or a night owl isnβt just a choiceβitβs biology! We all have that specific time when our brains finally "click" into gear.
This raises a big question for the modern workplace. To get the best out of everyone, should employers accommodate our natural body clocks? This idea is at the heart of the four-day work week and flexible scheduling movements.
We want to hear from you:
1. When does your brain "click" into gear?
2. Would a flexible (or shortened) schedule change the way you work?

What is it?
