Am I gonna have to pay for a vpn that actually lets me fake being outside the ‘states? I usually self host on a VM host to avoid incurring expenses, but it seems like that’s not really an option here. Seems like I might have to go for a AWS instance running PiVPN or something.

He [MPAA CEO Charles Rivkin] added that almost 60 countries use site-blocking as a tool against piracy, "including leading democracies and many of America's closest allies." The only reason why the US isn't one of them, he continued, is the "lack of political will, paired with outdated understandings of what site-blocking actually is, how it functions, and who it affects."

No, you're the one who doesn't understand. We don't want censorship, and we have this thing called the 1st Amendment.

The least productive Congress since the Great Depression? The same Congress who couldn't pass a budget for the government until 6 months into the very fiscal year it's for? That Congress? Priorities.

Just hoping private torrent sites and Usenet remain relatively unscathed. Honestly I'm surprised about how many of the big private trackers have lasted so long.

Any effect these measures may have will be easily circumvented by a VPN

They're not smart enough it figure out anything not mainstream. I heard most of the big sites blocked recently were live TV feed sites.
