So this might be a good place to ask. How is a Trojan Proxy Server suited for anonymous piracy? Is it better or worse in case this passes?

Guess it's time to go underground, sigh.

According to the article this is the USA. How on brand.

What about legitimate torrented content? Are they going to outlaw the technology outright? Don't plenty of legitimate downloads use torrents to speed up software updates and such?

Yes. I share like 100+ Linux distros via torrents.

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

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.

  • fieldworkers
  • women
  • gamers
  • IT support

don't fuck with IT. they know what filthy shit you watch from home.

We are going to end up with a super private and encrypted Internet because of it.
