Ummm, have these numbnuts never heard of a VPN?

We’ve done this dance already.

• Bully everyone and pass restrictive laws yields more piracy than ever, and a good crop of mentors for future pirates.
• Build quality streaming services with excellent selection of media, and the piracy community shrinks. (Sad, when it happens, because there’s evidence that wide-coverage digital media preservation is nearly impossible without the piracy community.)

It’s almost like the Movie Industry doesn’t care about any of the things they claim they care about…

Edit: I guess it’s possible they’re playing out a long con to ensure their favorite episodes of “I Love Lucy” survive…

Edit 2: No, I don’t really think they’re somehow secretly not the assholes they appear to be.

A site-blocking law would let copyright owners “request, in court, that Internet service providers block access to websites dedicated to sharing illegal, stolen content,” he said. Rivkin claimed that in the US, piracy “steals hundreds of thousands of jobs from workers and tens of billions of dollars from our economy rich people’s yacht money, including more than one billion in theatrical ticket sales.”

Awww, was the abuse from the DMCA not enough for them?

I demand I2P become the standard for filesharing. We don’t all get what we want.

If they take my piracy away I will have no choice but to become an anarchist.

Hopefully this doesn’t affect quad9 or cloud flare DNS, or I might have to go back to running a root resolver. The horrors.
