I don’t really sympathize with the government or media producers on this one, but I do see it’s a challenging problem they’ve built up in their mind. However, legalizing at-will censorship is not a great way to address this
It'll just drive people to IPTV via VPN
They'll go after the VPNs next
That'll be pretty interesting because virtual private networks are nothing but like ....where did they come from.. they came from the corporate sector.
That's alright, the good ones don't store anything for them to go after.
That's what I mean. Look what happened with mullvad
They can just block them like pirate websites.
I mean I don't subscribe to any services and I don't even pirate that much anymore. I just don't give a fuck about anything anymore. Everything has just become so fucking adversarial and depressing. Like we have such a limp dick future. It is so depressing seeing the type of leadership in this world that you know, who the fuck needs a story for... I mean it's just so sad reality. It's such a shit show. The types of movies that people are putting out. I mean the music. Everything sucks. Like I don't want to steal your garbage. I don't want to watch your garbage. Like, there's just nothing worth stealing anymore.
I just can't get behind this mentality. Yes things aren't great in a lot of ways, but there is still great amounts of creativity and innovation all around us. If you stick to algorithms and pop culture to find it, you will be disappointed, but if you put some work in to find gems among the artists at work today, you can still find very inspiring work.
Loads of good old stuff around though, definitely worth archiving.
At this point, if you ain't using a VPN, you are behving like a gay man who didn't use rubbers in NYC during 1980s
