So, do any pirates here have a grasp in what this asshole feels towards piracy in general? Should we be worried? I’m worried he’ll install an FCC that’ll work against internet rights, that’s one concern.
I’d like to hear what thoughts you have.
Even if it’s not directly related to piracy, he will try to censor the internet in ways that will harm your possibilities of consuming pirated content.
Get a vpn. From a country that doesn’t make part of the 14 eyes, with real no-logs policy and, if possible, that accepts cash, crypto or prepaid cards. Ditch windows too.
PSA: all women in Trumpistan should be especially very mindful of state-level surveillance of their internet use, whether or not they pirate stuff. But this is also good advice for all pirates.
He’ll do whatever makes his buddies the most money.
I for one welcome the new piracy arms race, every time someone tries to stop piracy, piracy gets easier and more efficient.
Especially if they try to ban porn as outlined in Project 2025
Good luck trying to essentially end one of the biggest industries that’s partly in contributing on keeping the country going.
We might have to ban the government with nukes
I don’t think he’s been vocal one way or another about piracy, but i wouldn’t be surprised if he appointed a fresh group of jackoffs with something to prove
Everything will be fine unless someone shows him an active torrent of The Apprentice and explains he doesn’t get paid residuals if people watch it that way.
is he paid residuals for theater and streaming sales? 🤮 if so, this would be a great reason to pirate it.
Well he’s going to make it nigh-impossible to afford electronic equipment or compute power.
Piracy may be fine, but the tools that facilitate it will be broken.
Get what you can now, and embrace the return to sneakernets.
I doubt he knows what it is but at least one of his fascist collaborators probably do.
His deputy (Barr) said that criminal use of VPNs should be looked into but nothing became of that.
This happened like more than 4 years ago so I could be wrong. Someone correct me if I am
EDIT: He wanted all encryption to have backdoors
Probably not too much so his big tech friends can scrape all data they need.
the last 16 years had 4 years of republican rule. the democrats are very responsible for the fact that the feds are going after pirates (crime against rich stakeholders) instead of crimes against the members of the general American demographic as a principle.
the change from public servants to corporate military is a bipartisan problem, folks
oh yeah, it’s all gone, he’s for the oligarch media owners, expect pirate sites to be nuked across the board, expect internet access to be 10x more expensive, expect vpn’s to be curtailed if not outlawed outright. it’s the end of all things. this is no hyperbole.
Eh, not necessarily. Hollywood hates piracy and Trump hates Hollywood, it might actually be as simple as that.
Intriguing nonetheless, I would say it will be the usual pushback and blowback.
Worry is the worst use of imagination. The latter can take you all sorts of places, whereas the former is more of a rocking chair: misleadingly distracting but essentially stationary. 🙇🏽♂️
