    Meta, X, and ChatGPT have all automated mass piracy of art, music, articles, and anything their genAI touches. Surely you mean to start there?

      I tested I2P a number of years ago and havent messed with it since. Been wanting to get back into setting it up for torrenting on my server. Will have to do some research and set it back up this weekend. Nows a better time than any I guess. Thanks for the reminder to start again.

        I tried it again recently as a comparison to Tor and I much prefer the “everyone is a node” system + full TCP and UDP support, but the main downside is throughput/bandwidth.

        It’s excellent if you’ve got time but I wish they would bump the default node share limits so thst the network runs faster.

          Yeah, I do know its alot slower. I at least want to get it set up as a fallback if this bullshit the governments are doing actually happens.

    We know they think corporations are people, but they’re not the only people they should be serving.

    It’d really be nice if “Huh. This protects corporate interests more than taxpayer interests. Denied.” was a thing in government.

    There are literally open DNS providers who run their own networks. Good luck.

    Piracy keeps the poors occupied and busy so they don’t riot. There’s no blood left to squeeze from that rock, they’re not going to buy streaming. Games are in decline as systems die of go outdated, and corporate erodes the quality of development.

    They’re idiots if they push this bill in earnest.

    Look what happened the last time people had too much time on their hands (Covid). And everyone has a lot more to pissed about, now.

      Your last paragraph crossed my mind recently as the oil prices really start to spiral out of control. There were so many protests bordering on riots because people were stuck at home due to covid - now we’re already hearing news that truckers are starting to sit idle instead of driving at a loss.

      Imagine how much free time and how much anger everyone will have when the economy grinds to a halt from product shortages all over the country.

        I’d love to think people would’ve protested racism and gross police incompetencies ending in death regardless, but it’s highly unlikely.

        Even the storming of the Bastille had to wait for nice weather.

        Locking away the poors’ access to distraction could very well be that “nice weather”.

          I’ve heard plenty of times in the past that truckers will strike over this or that, and I’d like to actually see it happen. It would stop everything in three days or so.

          Usually what happens is we get a couple of videos of truckers going slow and blocking the highway, but not much else.
