Have you ever wondered what is most usually discussed topic on the internet forums about deals like Satellite TV on PC?
It is precisely whether Internet TV on PC is a real deal or not ?
There are many people on the web forum that claim how such softwares may not be legalize. Let’s analyse this deeper . For example, there are many Louis Vuitton bags in the market, some are authentic and some are imitations . thus, very much depends on which version of the bag one has bought. On the same note , there are many softwares in the market that claim to stream satellite TV channels onto the PC. a simple keyword search on the internet will reveal many “free” softwares as well as some that require a small premium to be paid . You are advised to be very careful here. Undoubtedly many softwares may not deliver what they promise … the internet is full of scams in many aspects. However, they are also some valid and legitimate companies that have expended substantial amount of capital to develop such a software that legitimately allows the end users to watch thousands of TV channels worldwide . They guarantee that there is no hacking or cracking involved. As an indication of their genuinty , they normally provide a 100% money back guarantee for all purchases of their Internet TV on PC softwares.
Let’s proceed to look into the definition of “scam”. “Scam” is defined as follows:
A confidence trick, confidence game, or con for short (also known as a scam) is an attempt to deliberately misguide a person or persons (known as the mark) usually with the goal of financial or other gain. The confidence trickster, con man, scam artist or con artist often works with an accomplice known as the shill, who tries to encourage the mark by pretending to believe the trickster. …

Let us further examine the definition of “Fraud”:
fraud (frôd) n.
There are 4 definitions of fraud that apply to the situations we describe:
- A deception practiced in order to secure inequitable or unlawful gain.
- any act, expression, omission, or concealment that deceives another to his or her disadvantage; specifically, it is:
- a misrepresentation, omission or concealment of some fact material to a transaction; and
- it is made with cognition (or the reasonable expectation that the culprit should know) that it is fake or is made in reckless disregard of its truth or falsity and
- with the intent to deceive another and
- that is reasonably relied on by the other who is injured
Given the above , it would be difficult to conclude that many of the softwares out there are “scams” for the following reasons :-
- many of the softwares are legal (no hacking or cracking involved);
- they usually deliver what they promise i.e. customers are able to watch thousands of TV channels all over the world with top quality pictures;
- there are no intention on the part of the seller to defraud or misrepresent with the goal of a financial gain for the simple reason that if the customer is not satisfied for whatever reasons with the software, the customer may within a fairly long period (usually 30 to 60 days) ask for a 100% money back guarantee, which money back guarantee in most cases will be issued , thereby negating any form of intention to defraud nor any monetary gains on the part of the seller. The unsatisfied customer walks away with no financial loss whatsoever.
Given such promises and safety net , it would be very difficult to come to the conclusion that such softwares are scams as afterall one gets his or her money back in the event of non-satisfaction with the product.
