    Cool so we are going to nationalize the film industry? Force consolidation of streaming services? Treat entertainment like a utility and fix their rates with a tariff? No? Then fuck off

    I feel like this would just push more nontechies to learn how to be better pirates. It would do very little to stop piracy.

      Only way to stop piracy is to make it easier and cheaper to buy the goods legitimately in all corners of the world. Since that won’t be happening, and since so much content is an outright gamble if it’s even any good, piracy will continue to grow.

    I always find it funny how theyre always calling to ban the most surface level piracy sites or just whatever gets a lot of media attention like the pirate bay.

    The seas are so deep they can never drain it all, nor do they intend to. Its just to keep that riaa and MPA campaign funds flowing.

      Yep, and even if they managed to block indexers, you can always open up any torrent client with DHT search and find torrents in a fully distributed and P2P way. I used to have magnetico crawling DHT and connected to my *arrstack as a backup so it’s pretty straightforward to not rely on any central blockable website for torrents.
