This is obscene. I don’t care who you claim you’re trying to protect (and I love movies and much or more than anyone), trying to get Congress to enact site blocking is absolutely deplorable. Keep Congress away from regulating what ISPs can serve. This is also why a TikTok ban is such a bad idea. https://www.motionpictures.org/remarks/charles-rivkin-state-of-the-industry-address-at-cinemacon-2024/

@film_girl An easy way to prevent piracy is to make your catalog available, instead of hoarding it, pretending it’s no longer available, creating false scarcity, writing it off, stop selling exclusivity rights to yet another gate keeper we can’t reach.

I don’t dark web, but I support home media ownership of playable copies that don’t disappear beyond laws of nature, and the right to find films and watch them at a time of our choosing.

@film_girl that article is one giant <citation required>

I see, as ever, every site serving infringing content is backed by the worst people on the planet, and the amount it’s costing the industry is eleventy trillion zillion dollars.

@film_girl it also has near-zero effectiveness. They DNS-block pirating sites here in Australia and it's had no impact. Everyone who wanted to pirate just learnt how to use a VPN (which they should be using anyway) or alternative DNS providers.

giulio,

@film_girl they started doing this in Italy this year. Mostly for pirated soccer matches. It’s going as well as you might expect.
