Fuck you Sony...
Signed a lifelong pirate.
Like shouldn't they just be suing the customers directly for a bazillion dollars at this point?
It costs a holiday and a nice dinner to make the SCOTUS say "um, ackchually, the constitution doesn't say anything about access to the internet".

Cut off internet for people who pirate... Those people are now unable to stream anything... Sacrifice thousands in potential revenue over an infringement that maybe cost them a few dollars, if that... Deter no one because everyone thinks they won't get caught.
Good move. Smart guys.
We need a new internet, a new way to connect.
But what if you could chain the smart phones and laptops of the world together using WiFi and Bluetooth to create a wireless network that was free and open to everyone, with no need for Big Telecom?

Some guy has already done it:

Same goes for other projects using the same frequencies. WiFi HaLow, LoRa/Meshtastic/LoRaWAN, Z Wave, Zigbee, Sigfox. All great tech.
Nice, that is a pretty cool use of radio signal.
surely this is only for torrents right? there should be no way they can detect DDL.

I won't use a phone company that listens to my calls and criticizes me for who I speak with. I won't use an internet provider that monitors what I download or shares that info with third parties. The only other way to catch someone downloading, is if an agent of the copyright holder is uploading the torrent file.
If you hire private security to give me free beer outside of your store, you can't accuse me of shoplifting because I accepted the free beer.
do these dumbasses think people pirate without vpns?
We once got a letter from our isp because someone who was at our dnd game night was using our internet to download shit without telling us so that was fun.
He stopped when we showed him the letter (he was the only guy with a laptop so it had to be him at the time)

I do. I'm an idiot and already got emails from my ISP.
I do and I never get emails from my ISP.
Same.
Sony: still trying to make the Betamax monetization plan work....
Emigrating to internet friendly country is something I'd do in a week. I guess sharing someone else's internet, or account identity is an option.
Knocking neighbors offline so there's more hands for making molotov.. good plan 😼

everytime ppl hate murican corpos more
FYI, SONY is a Japanese multinational corporation.
You're not wrong but culturally and historically, Sony Music is American.
Blackrock owns the most shares too 🤡
Do not conflate the people with the corporations.
And let's not ignore the fact that many nations were happy to buy and profit until the USA government turned into a bargain sale for billionaires.
I'm also an American, and this is 100% accurate. My countrymen are assholes, and the only thing they've ever cared about are problems that directly affect them.
Huh, I'm American and I'm surrounded by people who are incredibly kind and nurturing and will bend over backwards to help others. Sounds like you live in a shit part of the country if you only have assholes near you.

Turns out the 'shining beacon on a hill' and the 'thousand points of light' they used to talk about were all crosses burning.
As an American, I approve this message. It's accurate.
