US bill threatens to turn your VPN into a piracy blocklist

Remember when piracy was shrinking and Netflix was cheap and had a good deal of content?
Ah well, if only we can figure out what changed.
I guess we’ll instead try prohibiting VPNs, when something is in demand… prohibiting it always works great with zero unintended consequences.

When you only needed Netflix. Not Netflix, Hulu, Disney, HBO, Paramount, peacock, starz, apple, Amazon prime… I mean, I think most of us are fine paying for content. But, streaming has become at least as expensive as cable used to be.
