UK Police and FACT Continue IPTV Piracy Whack-a-Mole

A 42-year-old man was arrested in a recent UK crackdown on illegal IPTV suppliers, with a special mention for 'illicit Firesticks'. Local police, in collaboration with anti-piracy group FACT, also sent cease and desist letters to thirty other suspects. While FACT warns that pirate operators risk criminal penalties, there appears to be no end in sight for the streaming piracy whack-a-mole.

"illicit firesticks" just sounds way cooler on the surface than what it actually is.
I have moles in my yard and they are either very time consuming or very expensive to treat. Ultimately they end up winning. I'm routing for the British moles - keep digging!
I've got to be honest, FACT might keep on yammering that they're nailing these "IP" pirates in the UK but all the dodgy firestick sellers I've ever met, all the guys who have pirated since god knows how long I've never ever once heard of someone getting done over here in Britbongland?
Worst I've had is two emails to one of the 10 email addresses BlueYonder supplied us with (yes, I've had my BY/Telewest that long....) telling me I'm naughty for torrenting two episodes of Animal Kingdom back in 2016/7. And, because they use a Gmail backend for their email stack I didn't even get notified and only noticed them because I got bored, printed them out, and rolled them around my toilet paper roll for shits and giggles.
Seriously, is there anyone around here from this same land and heard of anyone getting "done"?
