You seem to have created something that was technically complex and therefore difficult, and have done it relatively cheaply. Is it worth repeating the effort / rebuilding "as a service" for legitimate businesses that need a 100Gbps CDN for streaming, file distribution, whatever else. Like low-key sports that don't get much distribution because the big networks aren't interested? (There's a lot I don't know, I'm just impressed by what it appears you were able to build whilst working other jobs) Are you legally prevented from pursuing such an endeavour? Does your criminal record unspokenly make it likely not worthwhile pursuing a legitimate version of what you created?

He couldn’t be clearer that he doesn’t want to talk about it. “Can you talk more about how the website worked? No.” It’s a terrible look if he’s teaching other people how to do the same thing that sent him to prison. There’s no upside for him and plenty of downside.

  I wasn't intending to ask how it worked, rather whether it's able to be legitimised; whether the knowledge can be re-applied on the right side of the law. It would be a shame if it couldn't or if he was prevented from doing so given that it appeared to be competent / successful.

    The economics just would not have worked, let alone being the one to break the contractual agreements between the leagues and cable companies: my customers were more concerned about availability (see: no blackouts) than they were about price. In the US, if you are physically located in Los Angeles, you're unable to watch the Lakers (or Clippers) without a cable subscription: having the league-provided streaming package NBA League Pass is not enough. Getting around this limitation was the selling point.
