Wage theft and fraud poses a larger threat to the economy. Rather than hiring 20 million dollars of internet policing to save zero dollars of the economy could we get 20 million dollars of police that prosecute fraudsters and shitty employers?

Instead of being contempt with one yacht, they're gonna do what they can to have zero.
When A24 and state run film studios like Vicscreen are the only ones making anything remotely worth the box office, you have a problem, and burning down the barn to stop the foxes from all those delicious hens aren't gonna fix it. Just more socialized losses.

Tor Tor Tor Tor Tor that's the way the vpn goes.

Tor is a fed honey pot
While TOR does accept funds from the U.S. federal government it is not a honey pot. Given tor is free and open source it is easy to verify the security of the software.
I use fedora btw (use open source software you fools)
Also, if you're into that kinda thing, you should look into ceilidh from the cult of the dead cow
If no one has told you yet. The feds busted a child porn network in the UK that used for because they were hosting over 65% of the exit nodes at the time. If your open source anonymous VPN is hosted by the feds, they can 100% see where the traffic is coming and where it's going

You don't understand how the technology works, do you?
I think the concept is if you own enough exit nodes and you have monitors at the backbone level you can correlate traffic with time-based attacks.
The current number of people using tor in a given time isn't so insurmountable that you can't throw a couple of data centers worth of VMs at The problem and they've had backbone monitoring for decades.
The thing is, the feds aren't going to come knocking at your door because you are downloading movies. The MPAA figured out a long time ago that it's a losing battle going after individual people downloading/uploading. If you were trying to use tor to hide behind doing things to harm other people, running terrorist networks and the like, there's a reasonably good chance they could track you down if you were just using tour but they'd have to really want to do it, and that's not going to happen for Steve's half terabyte of CSI.
Imagine how much money the movie industry would have if it stopped wasting time and effort on the false idea that 1 download = 1 lost sale.
But remember, when it comes to doing a public good/service/education/etc, the government is perpetually broke and can afford nothing.

Oh no, now I will have to pay $50/mo to re-watch marvel movie 832 and an action movie where the main character has to go on a 2hr quest for revenge after someone shot their pet.
...I barely watch movies anymore, there's not been a ton of great new stuff imo. I'm so sick of subscriptions, too.
They're pretty much all the Journey Of The Hero anyways and that shit is 3000 years old.
Same. Been watching a lot of film noir actually. The third man, double indemnity, strangers on a train. What happened to story telling?

Honestly these movie companies are doing it to themselves.. When I was a kid in the 90s movies would take 3-6 months for home media, now it is like 1-2 months tops combine that with $15 tickets and I'll give it a wait and see. Holiday movies wouldn't see a release until the following year.
Frankly combining the recent and less recent events - I think fuck them.
I can understand selling a book or a movie and it being theft to download a copy. It's at least logically consistent - you show someone something with a condition that they pay you, it's dishonest to look and not pay.
But owning characters and universes and their names and so on?
And these laws not being used against "AI" firms?
All at the same time?
No. Right is about compromise. They don't do that, so we don't owe them anything. And let them obey what is made for their benefit first.
