Google AI teaches users how to pirate Movistar's satellite TV: the GTMedia Mars case

Asking Google's artificial intelligence about the GTMedia Mars decoder is not only legal, but the answer includes detailed instructions for accessing Movistar's pay TV signal without paying. A user looking for the device on Wallapop discovered that the assistant explained step by step how to activate the "Mars system" to watch encrypted channels. The AI itself later confirmed that it was giving piracy instructions. The case reopens the debate about the content filters of big tech companies and about a business that AliExpress sells without shame while Spanish users face a restrictive legal framework.

The Chinese decoder business: no filters, not even for AI

GTMedia has been for years the best-selling decoder on AliExpress for watching satellite TV. Its Mars model allows access to pay channels through an internet key-sharing system. What is striking is that Google Gemini – the AI integrated into the search engine – provided a user with the complete method without any hesitation. Only through successive questions did the user realize what he was receiving. Meanwhile, the same AliExpress store has already sold out of the model and sells a similar one.

The situation contrasts with the experience of those who have tried these solutions. Some users recall that systems like IRIS offered "flowers" (keys) for 18 months for 79 euros, compared to the 30 euros of a generic decoder. The problem: when the service is cut off, there is no way to file a claim. Moreover, since the shutdown of the CCCAM servers, satellite has lost ground to IPTV, although it remains the only option in rural areas without fiber optic coverage.

Entrepreneurship or legal risk?

The thread raises an uncomfortable question: if AIs do not filter these instructions, is it a business niche open to everyone? The reality is that while Chinese sellers operate from AliExpress without problems, Spaniards who try to resell these services face sanctions. The difference is the legal framework: here piracy is prosecuted, there it is a gray business. Meanwhile, Google continues to answer questions about how to pirate, whether via satellite or with eMule and Torrent, with complete ease. A breakthrough, no doubt, for those looking for free content. For everyone else, yet another sign that AI self-regulation is a joke.
