"After Canada became the first North American country to impose a pirate site blockade, the issue is now openly debated on the Hill."
I didn't know about that. Doesn't seem to be working for shit.
This doubling down is beyond stupid and will inevitably backfire on them. People have no jobs or money and can't leave their homes, so there's no alternative BUT to pirate content and/or build more robust alternatives.
I hope with all my heart and soul that there are some unemployed coders out there pounding away at some new innovative decentralizing alternatives that can't be suppressed nor corrupted.

Ironically, one of the VPN servers I use is in Canada. Get better speeds than the local node oddly enough.
