Streaming was not illegal before the law was changed in 2021 to make such devices illegal...before 2021 people selling such devices were not breaking the law.

Before the Singapore USA free trade agreement copyright laws were not enforced. You can buy pirated music CDs and software everywhere.

In 2021, Singapore amended the Copyright Act, specifically Section 150, to make the sale of illegal streaming devices and services, which facilitate access to pirated content, a punishable offense, leading to the first prosecution under this provision in late 2024.
