    Couldn’t people circumvent that by not hosting piracy sites in that country and by using a VPN based outside the imperial core?

    Oh no, not DNS, however will I get to my desired sites?? DNS isn’t the only way. It’s just the most obvious or easiest, but we’ll let them keep thinking that 😆

    Issa argued that online piracy helps fund terrorist groups and other criminal networks.

    Gotta play the "Everything I don’t like is ‘terrrorism’. " card, naturally. I wonder if it hurts when you have the collective hand of media conglomerates shoved up your ass like a sock puppet.

    So the expensive infrastructure for DPI that that takes, who’s going to pay for that? And just where are you going to buy it? China?

      Honestly, they’re likely already doing it for surveillance of their citizens anyway.

        Surveillance is cheap, filtering/blocking with DPI is not, and has plenty of false positives, see Russia.

    I’ve actually memorized a couple movies and can watch them for free in my head. Does that count as thought crime?

    Oh no! I might have to switch my VPN to a server in a different country! That could take nearly half a minute!

        It works fine (for now), and you get slightly faster speeds/lower pings with a server that’s geographically closer.

        That said, I’m very close to Canada, so that would be the obvious next choice if the US starts blocking shit.

    Maybe the bill will get an amendment. Maybe a 2nd amendment is required.
