The unproven claims is the key part here. Also the point of "terminating an account would punish every user in a household" is important as well.
You can fine someone for piracy if you want. As long as they have the standard legal protections. But cutting access is excessive.
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
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.
This is how you get a new darknet.
In Germany and no doubt some other countries, private law firms can (on behalf of the copyright holders) request people's identity based on residential IP addresses and then send extortionist legal threats. Apparently an IP appearing on a public tracker can be enough to trigger it, without any confirmed data transfer.
VPNs are common and usually sufficient.
they try that in the US, using mass litigation, but it doesnt work, its usually designed to scare indivudal IP users to "turn them self in"
Yep there is no way they can block I2P, they have to block all of it.
lol, they'll have no customers! ISPs used to send 'warning' letters to customers in England but that's all.
I'm not doing piracy, I'm just trading a lot of data packets with a Proton Server in Switzerland, nothing to see here 😉
Like 20 years ago the RAVE Act said venues can be charged if anyone is in possession of illegal drugs inside of them during an event. Similar in some ways
4G piracy hub go brrrrr? Go ahead, disconnect me. I will get another SIM and resume piracy.
Guess it's time to go underground, sigh.
Then the AI companies that have openly used pirated stuff could also get disconnected lol. Of course business will be fine and individuals will get shafted who expects anything different nowadays.
low key hope this happens.
it's gonna be fuckin funny to watch all IT in the US grind to a halt because everyone who WFH can't work because their internet was cut off.
then a week into mandatory office returns someone will get the whole datacenter cut off because they're running torrents from their laptop.
dumb fucks are going after the worst people to fuck with.
don't fuck with IT. they know what filthy shit you watch from home.
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
