is anime a form of Piracy?! One Piece I guess?!

[cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone]

Stop hiking prices on streaming services and making them awful to use while ending sales of physical media and I won't pirate content.

Brb connecting to a Chinese VPN so I can access content outside of the US Firewall.

[lovablesidekick@lemmy.world]

Hard to discuss this bill since the text isn't even on there yet. But apparently companies expressing approval have seen it.

I'm locked into ExpressVPN for a year but I was thinking about switching to Mullvad shortly. ExpessVPN isn't bad but being in the British Virgin Islands does give me a bit of anxiety.

I don't currently sail the high seas, but clamping down on access and making it harder to enjoy content, increasing prices, blocking account sharing, and adding unskippable ads and promos make me want to pirate, just out of spite!

[golden_zealot@lemmy.ml]

I have heard that phrase before, but I am unsure what it denotes specifically.

[golden_zealot@lemmy.ml]

I have had pretty good luck with airvpn, but the ultimate is mullvad as I understand it, though relatively speaking it is much more expensive than airvpn.

[finitebanjo@lemmy.world]

Difficulty aside, it's currently a non-bill as far as anybody should be concerned. There is a lot going on and this isn't really something until it gets more representatives behind it.

I mean ffs the new admin struck down Net Neutrality already, where are the people concerned by that?

[kalysta@lemm.ee]

We have literal Nazis stealing all our private information right this second…but THIS is the bill that gets to the floor?

Fiddling while Rome burns.

[whotookkarl@lemmy.world]

Even if it passed making piracy super extra illegal+ it's targeting google and cloud flare to block access to sites within 15 days that could still easily be reached outside their boundaries. It's political theater for mpaa riaa etc industry association lobbyists to show they got something for their bribes.

Oh I would prefer to use GoG, the problem is that it up just isnt so good. But been playing FOSS games a bit lately so haven't been using either.

Wasting their time

Mullvad has a lot of perks. Like I mentioned, no deals for buying yearly. Get it month by month for the same price. No account connections. You get an ID number and that's it. That ID is your password and username. Pay with nearly anything. Crypto, card, money services, even mail in physical cash.

There's a lot to love about it, and it hands down has some of the fastest tunnels I've used. Nord was always half my internet speed no matter what I connected to. You don't even need Google Play if you want to use it on android. It's open source, so grab it right on F-Droid. Easily supports any OS. If you don't want a GUI, there's a CLI alternative, too.

This advertisement was not paid for by Mullvad VPN.

I don't think you understand. Rome burning is the distraction. Shit like this is the real goal. The U.S. will be lucky if it hasn't collapsed to neo-feudalism in the next four years.

[petter1@lemm.ee]

Then we have to build a community DNS ‍️ you can’t really block free internet

It's hard and complex, but they can. And they aim to.
