  Anyone offhandedly know how this would affect Usenet

    Usenet is perfectly controllable for this kind of thing.

    Also it’s not intended for sharing binaries, that’s bad behavior.

    I can see something new, distributed (no servers), but with Usenet’s feel and paradigm, being the pinnacle of piracy. But there is no such thing.

    I imagine it’s possible but it sounds like they’re going after low hanging fruit like streaming sites and it also states that they can’t prevent people from using VPNs to get around the blocking.

  I’m currently watching The Practice. One of my favorite shows. Over the years it’s been on Netflix, prime, and shit like peacock and tubi. I can’t keep up with all that. Right now it’s in Amazon prime which I have but can’t watch because I have a “business” account and according to Amazon I shouldn’t be watching shows and movies on a “business” account.

  Soooo… To the high seas I go. Not that I don’t want to pay for it but because it’s so much easier.

  And now I’ll have the show for whenever I want to watch it.
