Technology

The level of short sightedness in this pursuit is laughable, even if it's coming from corporate.

You pirated a song?

Well then, we're going to cut off your internet so that we can never effectively market anything we make to you ever again.

We'll gladly lose out on all the revenue you normally spend on corporate movies, tech, and content because we'd rather hyper fixate on the pennies of lost revenue that mp3 cost us, than ever worry about the macro economic conditions of the real people it comes from.

Fucking LOL.

They plan on suing all the ai companies too?

Spectrum had a policy like this at one point. They'd shut you off after a couple of instances of p2p that were reported. Afterwards, they directed you into a captive portal with some plausible deniability where you had to say "I don't know what happened, but it won't happen again".

Nowadays they just send you an email but don't restrict access.

Either way the Internet isn't too safe, protect yourself with at least a VPN.

Cut us all off, so corporate can use internet, what they meant to use it for. Corporate Porn.

Um, has there ever been a time Sony, the rootkit DRM company has not called for state intervention to enforce IP laws regarding Sony holdings? (All the while Sony pirates anyone else's stuff.)

This is like the news that Comcast objects to municipal areas opening up Comcast monopoly regions to new ISPs. Sony is almost as bas as Nintendo when it comes to their franchises.

Get a vpn provider. Set the location as the Netherlands. Set up a docker container with deluge and openvpn, and set it up to use your vpn provider.

Voila. You only need run your torrent traffic through the vpn, and it’ll be on its own kill switch.

That's like cutting wizards off from their source of magic

I've never forgiven Sony for decades deleting an account with paid for expensive games on it, they claimed inactivity for 6 months and UK law meant they had to.

No other account (with purchases) I have has ever just got deleted on me and you better believe Sony are never getting a single penny from me again.

Fuck you Sony...

Signed a lifelong pirate.

Haha the US is so fucking dumb bro I can't

Reason #56,789 of why Sony is on my permanent embargo list since 2002. They treat their customers like absolute shit. And they pay their bills.

If Sony is involved you know it’s straight sleaze. If there was an award for most evil company, they’d be leading.

Sony's part of the fine was raised by a third for trying to obstruct the investigation by refusing to answer inquiries made by the EU officials and shredding of evidence during the multiple law-enforcement raids.

From their part in the videotape price fixing snafu back some 20 years. That’s how they roll.

I won't use a phone company that listens to my calls and criticizes me for who I speak with. I won't use an internet provider that monitors what I download or shares that info with third parties. The only other way to catch someone downloading, is if an agent of the copyright holder is uploading the torrent file.

If you hire private security to give me free beer outside of your store, you can't accuse me of shoplifting because I accepted the free beer.

It costs a holiday and a nice dinner to make the SCOTUS say "um, ackchually, the constitution doesn't say anything about access to the internet".

That's dystopian, good luck finding a job besides servicing without internet.
