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.

Then you get your pirated content with no worry, for once I seethis as a win win!

[–] douglasg14b@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

Naw, they will figure out how to target you specifically.

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.

(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)
