There’s a bill being introduced in the US by a California Democrat that would allow courts to order ISPs and DNS providers to block pirating sites. Of course the MPAA authored it.
Over the next year I am more curious about how much the Democrats will go mask-off versus the Republicans.
The republicans will do much worse things, of course. They took off their mask and burned it. But while they’re catching all the news coverage and committing their atrocities, will the democrats just continue to expose themselves as a foil for the republicans in the overall story of funneling money to the oligarchs, at the cost of literal human lives? That’s their starting point with a lot of people anyway.
There’s no looming election now. The pragmatic folks who threw you anti-Trump votes were not enough in the election, and they won’t help you at all now. Come up with something good to present to the people. Ask Bernie if you need ideas.
And speaking of MPAA, I can’t recommend the documentary “This film is not yet rated” enough. Delves into the origins of the MPAA and why a private company that is very secretive about its members has so much power in Hollywood.
Fair warning to everyone, it’s an older doc (2006ish), but very worth watching. And I liked, later, going and watching the movies that it uses as examples to talk about issues. I’m especially thinking of “But I’m a Cheerleader”, but there are lots.

Democrats sure know what’s important right now. Can’t imagine why they lost so fucking hard.
Also, for the morons who will shit on me with idiotic assumptions cause their puny brains only function in binary…fuck repubs too.
Dems remove Corporate phallus from mouth
“Why don’t you plebes appreciate us?”
