Thoughts? Is this shades of what is to come? Cause to me it looks pretty sketch....
Well, I believe the comments on PCMag and TorrentFreak sum up nicely: this move will only drive up piracy. And personally, not just in the EU. If there is a show I want to watch, and I have to sacrifice my privacy to watch it, I will seek out other, less intrusive means to watch that show.
But to answer your question, yes. In the US, the rich and powerful rule, and all they want to do is increase their wealth and power even more by any means. Putting harsh restrictions on their content allows them to control it even more, and charge more for the content, at least that's how they see it. Personally, I try NOT to keep up so much with politics because I'm already depressed enough as it is.
tried to watch hulu while on the vpn the other day, no go. i just turned it off tho and hulu worked. feels good man.
