For us Americans that don't know anything about this: it seems that this is done by the Chaos Computer Club[0], which runs the Chaos Communication Congress[1] which is a sort of German DEFCON.<p>0 - <a href="https://www.ccc.de/en" rel="nofollow">https://www.ccc.de/en</a>

This content has been on <a href="https://media.ccc.de/" rel="nofollow">https://media.ccc.de/</a> for weeks, so there is no need to watch on the Roku store.
I'm the developer of this channel and am not directly associated with CCC; I asked for permission to use their API to provide these videos for Roku users and have been developing it off-and-on for a few months. I'm planning on adding more conferences from their collection, but in order to meet the Roku Direct Publisher requirements, I have to make some additional assets for each event beyond what's provided on their site.<p>Code for my API parser and feed generator is at <a href="https://github.com/unwiredben/media.ccc.de-on-roku" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/unwiredben/media.ccc.de-on-roku</a>
Roku is frequently derided for being spyware here, and CCC is full of privacy aware hackers. I would have thought the crossover of people interested in CCC and Roku TV subscribers would be fairly low.
Basic question: Why is this relevant? I've never heard of media.ccc.de, so what's so interesting about it that, as soon as they have a Roku channel, it's the top link at Hacker News?<p>I'm assuming that this organization is somehow controversial? Are they streaming pirated content or something that's politically controversial?
