It would also exclude Wi-Fi networks offered on the premises of airports, libraries, restaurants, retail stores, and similar establishments.

Your loophole will be closed in a few months, by hook or by crook. Either local wifi admin will prevent piracy, or the isp will cut service.

ha, no sense throwing any real logic at this mess, it wont happen. they want to filter vpns.. hahahhaha right.
these people are so far removed from the tech and its implementation its actually funny. theyre trying to legislate a water-holding sieve, physics be damned. hilarious!

I’m not sure what the logic of excluding Wifi is from this; seems like you’d have to intentionally introduce a misunderstanding to justify it because it makes no sense.
