New Bill to Effectively Kill Anime & Other Piracy in the U.S. Gets Backing by Netflix, Disney & Sony

I'm currently watching The Practice. One of my favorite shows. Over the years it's been on Netflix, prime, and shit like peacock and tubi. I can't keep up with all that. Right now it's in Amazon prime which I have but can't watch because I have a "business" account and according to Amazon I shouldn't be watching shows and movies on a "business" account.

Soooo... To the high seas I go. Not that I don't want to pay for it but because it's so much easier.

And now I'll have the show for whenever I want to watch it.

I mean, why not onion routing and tor?

They weren't worried about it last time and they're not worried about it now.

My only faith in the system is that they will screw over such a wide number of people that it'll piss people off enough to care.

I believe Tuta is sound €5 too so both would still be less than ExpressVPN

Alarmism doesn't help just like energy drinks don't help. You get a short period of strong agitation followed by a longer period of mild apathy.

Nothing happens abruptly.

Also it's called oligopolized capitalism, or maybe state capitalism, I forgot what Nazi Germany's economy system was called, but that'd be the right classification.

However, the ideology is not that of Nazi Germany, not even similar. It's still a democracy, however shitty it would seem. Maybe, yes, a 4 years long sample of those Confederate States of America some people wanted, but not even the full bouquet of taste.

In any case, things like this bill could have been seen from 20 years ago. A lot of people just thought it's not important. Just like it always happens.

We are sitting discussing things without doing anything, a reminder. You know something to hurt them - you do that. You don't - why bother?

Tor can be blocked.
