See you guys in I2P :)

ha. all of my traffic is encrypted and routed through at least 3 pirate friendly countries and servers that don't keep logs. good fucking luck inspecting those packets.

Then pirates will just get smarter. No way for them to see who is watching all of these movies with their VPN and Debrid service.

This is how you get a new darknet.

If it's upheld, that's the precursor to full-blown info blackouts, just cut off internet to anyone 'accused' of wrongspeak against the powers that be, which is basically everyone.

This also sounds like SOPA reborn.

Being accused of will lose you access to basic infrastructure? Why not cut electricity too?

"the internet" is a necessity and requirement to function in society. You can't be denied access to it anymore, it would be disproportionate.

All public wifi will be disconnected pretty quickly.

Lol.

Do ISPs like making money?

Then they shouldn't disconnect users who pirate.

I get notifications from my ISP all the time. They don't do anything though because they like the money I give them.

let's all fall on our sword to make sure Disney never loses a potential subscriber for Marvel Wars. Truly, we are defending the interests of the people here

Based on that logic, ammunition and arms manufacturers should be held liable for damages as well.

Accused???

Well alrighty then, I hereby accuse the operators of donaldjtrump.com of piracy! Anybody else notice any piratical activity? Foxnews.com seems pretty fishy.

Always make sure that QBT uses your VPN's network interface. I got some DMCA emails despite split-tunneling a VPN recently, and I realized it was bound to all interfaces by default - that's no good.

I'm not a judge, but isn't internet essentially a utility these days? Cutting someone off because of piracy seems like cutting off electricity or water because they did something illegal with it.

So if Meta is convicted of pirating books for AI training, they lose all internet connectivity? 🧐

I'm not doing piracy, I am merely training my AI!

This still won’t make me pay for Netflix

lol, they'll have no customers! ISPs used to send 'warning' letters to customers in England but that's all.

And now I'm on a VPN because if they're just gonna cut people off for accusing of piracy they're gonna have to cut off everyone with a VPN.

TBH I should have been behind a VPN before

I nominate we test with out with the Zuck and his networks.

Pirate everything, death to the capitalists.

Here i am again doing my duty https://mullvad.net/en/why-privacy-matters

In the beginning we used to exchange cassettes. You would have a boombox with two cassettes. You would play one while you recorded on the other. Then you gave the cassette back to your friend. Next was the VCR with the big ass cassettes.

Then you would do the same with floppies, then zip disks. Then one day CD recording was a thing, then DVDs. Then thumb drives and now portable HDDs. Basically the cheapest form or recording is always the most popular way for people to share stuff.

The only ones who don't want us to share are those who want to make millions by never innovating.

The mere accusation causing someone to lose the Internet, which is vital to modern life, would be insane.

Additionally, it would do little to nothing to stop piracy.
