Instead of working to create a cost effective, quick method for users to buy (AND OWN, NOT LICENSE) digital movies, the MPAA is instead going to try and censor the internet. Brilliant move, idiots.

Curious, I checked out Chris Dodd and wonder what he's up to. He's a close advisor now to Biden so I'd imagine he's whispering in Biden's ear and whoever will listen, about how much of piracy is 'bad for ya'. In case anyone forgot, Chris Dodd was a major asshole during his 6 year stint (2011 - 2017) with MPAA and he ultimately failed in stopping piracy.
I don't think this latest tactic will work. Congress couldn't even understand Facebook and they couldn't even hold Mark Zuckerberg of all people, accountable for his shit. Congress, MPAA and all the forces in the world couldn't stop Kim Dotcom. MPAA, ACE and whatever, still cannot shut down The Pirate Bay.
They'll just keep bashing their heads on the brick wall. The only victories they've gotten in all of the 20+ year decade war on piracy, is that most times, the sites go down because of lack of funding and support. They only take down big sites because they've found weak links or they've found those run-a-mouth pirates who've gotta go around talking shit about pirating to the point where they're a liability then wonder why their favorite service/site is shut down.
and I'm sure they're paying them lots of money to do it because God forbid the rich assholes aren't rich enough 🙄
Out of country DNS servers would probably completely circumvent this.
Judging by the fact that most of congress doesn’t know how TikTok or WiFi work, I’m guessing it’s gonna be fine.
They may not know how it works, which is why it's fucking dangerous that they are getting "consulted" by the MPA.
Best case scenario: it's just a DNS level block.
Worst case scenario: it's a DNS level log capture so that the MPA can sue people who watch things on fmovies or similar sites, like the RIAA did in the 90s.
DNS over HTTPS and use a DNS located in another country - problem solved
In Europe, these blocks are typically just IP bans, so secure DNS no helpy. You need a VPN or other proxy.

land of the free
Land of the free market not free people 🤓
Its not even a free market. Check the protectionism keeping Chinese EVs out of the US. Its more like the land of corporate profits.
There's no such thing as a free market unless you're talking about places like Somolia where there is no government.
Free Market is to economics what The American Dream is to immigrants and citizens.
Reality inevitably shines a harsh light on both.

Whoever told you that is your enemy
When that song came out it hit 19yr old me HARD. I am now 51 and it still does.
What else will corporations pay Congress to decide that is in corporations' best interest for us to not see?
Its good to see congress focusing on the real issues finally. When I pay taxes, this is what I'm looking for. Hopefully they will get around to legalizing kicking homeless people and children in the face soon as this is another one of my priorities.
As a disabled person I find I am not intentionally tripped anywhere near enough. I beseech Congress to act now before I become complacent in my verticality.
Won't someone please think of the children...'s unkicked faces
Thought about it and I don't like it. Motion carries. * slams gavel on homeless child's face *

VPNs are about to become a lot more commonplace.
the growth has already been staggering since states starting requiring ID’s for pornhub. I’m glad tech literacy is increasing in the face of these recurring laws. Small silver lining I can latch on to lol

Or that will be their first target
Not an easy target, since the technology/protocol is integral to many large businesses' infosec operations.
