Doesn’t seem like “‘pirate’” needs the quotes.

Bypassing the DRM might be legal, but if you’re openly advertising piracy, you lose plausible deniability and make it very easy to get your device blocked from sale.

And they scammed people by telling them they were actually paying sling/whoever.

It does if it’s a quote, which is what quotes in news article titles usually are
