Well-fought ProtonVPN.

The Paris court must have a strong taste of shit in their mouths from licking the media companies' arses...

I don't think that was them self-censoring, I think that was them failing to markdown successfully.

Looks like they tried to censor both shit and ass with an asterisk each.

Football isn't losing money because people pirate—people pirate because the system has made legitimate access unaffordable, while the industry continues to rake in more than enough regardless.

Piracy isn't a first choice—it's a response to a system that no longer serves the everyday supporter.

This is becoming a losing battle. They are attacking vpns and the root servers all to protect European football.
