    I’m gonna go to businesses I don’t like, hop on the Wi-Fi, and pirate from all the most obvious trackers.

      Great sentiment but we all know a business will get a pass for this just like when Meta got busted torrenting all those books and were told its okay because they’re using it to train their AI.

        Is that the conclusion? I thought that’s still under investigation. I remember reading about it months after the first reports.

      This seems like the best strategy realistically. If scotus makes it everyones problem, then make it a problem for those with the most to lose from losing internet access.

      Starbucks in particular would have a bad time lol

        They wouldn’t though, large businesses see no consequences from laws that you and I would see consequences for.

        Nah, then it just becomes a defacto situation of the content creation companies (Disney, Sony, etc) owning the telecom companies. So you will truly be a single content household, like a Disney Household or a Paramount Household.

          … And Sean Kennedy’s listener licence becomes just a little closer to reality.

          (I know that no one knows who that is, but Tales From the Afternoon was ironically prophetic and well ahead of it’s time. Unfortunately I’m one of a very few people who knows who he is lol)
