How are they gonna site block? If they block through the ISP’s DNS, change your DNS. If they block through IP, well America is turning into China with its great firewall lol. Either way, if they manage to take down piratebay (good luck) we should run our own DHT crawlers like Bitmagnet (https://bitmagnet.io/), or torrent through i2p

This is to be expected, corporations will fight tooth and nail for every penny. We need to fight back to make piracy resilient regardless of the whims of the MPA and the law. Because piracy transcends the law.

Turkish guy reporting in: don't worry we can teach you how to get around ISP blocks. It's not that hard.

Tor Browser would probably be the easiest if least performant way.

Just fyi:

  • performant == effective
  • performative == related to artistic/dramatic performance
