Comment on Italy to require VPN and DNS providers to block pirated content

  Yep

  It’s like when YouTube finds a way to show you an ad, and then you go to ublock and update filters and boom fixed.

  Oh no Italy is requiring something unenforceable, hopefully nobody from other countries ignores this and provides VPN access unhindered.

    In the nicest possible way, what you’re both describing are minor inconveniences.

      You seem very intent on convincing multiple people we are more inconvenienced than we feel.

      I think you are missing the feeling of smug superiority that comes from defeating the feeble multi-million dollar attempts to punish us…with 5 mouse clicks. So on the surface level it might be an inconvenience, but you step into the actual activity and boom, we’re telling these dumbasses to fuck off. And that’s fun.

        I’m not trying to convince anyone of anything, for some reason some people just want to ignore the meaning of words. I’m not saying anyone feels super inconvenienced either, like I said they’re minor inconveniences, but they’re there and they grow.

        Frankly I couldn’t care less about sticking it to the man, I’ve been around the scene for 30 odd years at this point and I don’t think that’s ever been a motivator for me. I do like things that make it more convenient, more reliable and increase selection - I don’t like things that make it more difficult, no matter how small.
