  What about legitimate torrented content? Are they going to outlaw the technology outright? Don’t plenty of legitimate downloads use torrents to speed up software updates and such?

  low key hope this happens.

  it’s gonna be fuckin funny to watch all IT in the US grind to a halt because everyone who WFH can’t work because their internet was cut off.

  then a week into mandatory office returns someone will get the whole datacenter cut off because they’re running torrents from their laptop.

  dumb fucks are going after the worst people to fuck with.

  • women
  • gamers
  • IT support

  don’t fuck with IT. they know what filthy shit you watch from home.

  Like 20 years ago the RAVE Act said venues can be charged if anyone is in possession of illegal drugs inside of them during an event. Similar in some ways

  Then the AI companies that have openly used pirated stuff could also get disconnected lol. Of course business will be fine and individuals will get shafted who expects anything different nowadays.
