Hi tvguy,
unfortunately, I will have to agree with you. As long as regulators are slow to adapt to this new global world and make a legal limitless placeshift service possible, we will have to live with these illegal fly-by operations.
I guess the newest episode of these illegal services is IGOCOLO - conveniently located on the little island of Gibraltar (for sure just a letterbox office). It’s a different set up, but the same deal. They may be more in a legal grey-area instead of being completely illegal. On the other you don't get all the interesting channels...
Anyway, as tvguy said: buyer beware - you can deal with them but dont be surprised if you get burned if they have to close shop suddenly once lawmakers have caught up with them.
