   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/

     @giulio @film_girl in the UK, they're doing the exact same thing (Premier League and Football League soccer games).

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

     @Chancerubbage @film_girl Well said, I blame Disney for most of this since they hoard most of their catalog, especially the 20th Century Fox titles.

     @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.

     @Chancerubbage @film_girl Of course it is, although they're one of the main purpatrators.
