Netflix, Sony & more back a new anti-piracy bill aiming to ban access to infringing sites in the U.S., with its reach spanning anime and much more.

    Oh. Making something illegal illegal again? That’ll be effective.

      If you read the bill, heavily sponsored by the MPA, part of it is about forcing ISPs (and presumably US based VPNs) to block the DNS/URLs of “foreign criminal” sites.

      It’s laying the groundwork for a Great American Firewall.

        So many long games are being played now, it’s like everything is laying groundwork for something else. Would be nice for laws to just do what they do.

        If you use a US-based VPN, you fucked up yourself.

          Viva la Mullvad. I was sick of being bullied into buying more to get a deal. It may not be the cheapest, but I love that it’s the same price across the board.

          Plus, the only way you’re going to get anything cheaper is by locking into a 1-3 year plan when you may not even need it every month.

      It’s a slippery slope. Soon they will make doing illegal things a crime.

        But not if they’re the ones doing the illegal stuff, apparently.

        They could take it a step further and threaten penalties for doing illegal things.
