      *Looks at the 4 busted ass appliances, that were built to fall, I bought brand new 3 years ago that are barely clinging onto life. * Consumer protection huh? What a concept.

    Goddammit Ted Lieu, you are for encryption and data privacy but you’re against media sharing?

      He’s for whoever pays him money… bunch of dirty greedy fuckwads who have zero concept of how the average person lives. Piracy wouldn’t be a problem if companies were providing easy access for a low price. It had dropped quite a bit when netflix was the only option and they weren’t charging extortion fees and raising them every couple months.

    I always find it funny how theyre always calling to ban the most surface level piracy sites or just whatever gets a lot of media attention like the pirate bay.

    The seas are so deep they can never drain it all, nor do they intend to. Its just to keep that riaa and MPA campaign funds flowing.

      Yep, and even if they managed to block indexers, you can always open up any torrent client with DHT search and find torrents in a fully distributed and P2P way. I used to have magnetico crawling DHT and connected to my *arrstack as a backup so it’s pretty straightforward to not rely on any central blockable website for torrents.
