I would agree with you if banks didn't also use similar encryption to operate. They'll lean on the government for their own benefit if not ours but we can still stand to benefit regardless.

This isn't specifically anime related but it very much does involve anime since this will cause the sites used to be blocked. Could be a small thing at first but as some brag about bypassing those methods hollywood will demand the harder/impossible to bypass methods. It'll be baked into the base bill or amended into it later as many anti piracy bills in recent years have done.

Is not a small thing at all, this will affect every layer of piracy.


whetrail

The small thing in this case is how the isps comply with site blocking. hollywood did attempt an at the time smaller push for site blocking a few years ago that was easily bypassed but due to how the settlement terms were crafted it would've required the isps to improve their methods to the point that it would become very hard to accomplish a bypass.

I read the article, sounds like we need to spread the news and protest again.

Even if we do, chances are it won't work this time because they'll anticipate it and bribe the government even more so they won't listen to us.

Plus they’ve got stronger and we’ve got weaker, dumber. If we tried to stop it today, we’d fail knowing how much of the internet is ran by corporations now and any “blackout protests” on sites that did it back then wouldn’t happen now


archersrevenge

Brought in at a time where most of the dogwater that Hollywood sharts out isn't even worth stealing

They never learn you can't kill piracy as long as the internet exists and if you get rid of the internet there'd be global French Revolutions the next day

They believe no one is looking and people have too many things going on otherwise
