You know, in a way I am glad that we managed to implement such a piss poor implementation of a PiRaCy ShIeLd. They are going to have to roll back or disable this piece of crap in a matter of days and that will hopefully be the end of these silly internet restrictions for good.
Had the implementation not sucked ass this bad, we would have needed to wait for some EU infringiment procedure or ECJ order to shut it down. Instead, this way it’s gonna end way more quickly.
Australia has a DNS based solution and it’s fantastic.
And I say it’s fantastic because I’m a pirate.
LMAO. As much as restrictions of this kind suck, at least DNS makes more sense than IP without any transparency.
It really does sound like whoever came up with the IP solution had no idea of what the hell they were talking about.
It won’t end it permanently, but it’ll be a good, visible failure.
The EU needs to strike down the Piracy Shield as unlawful. It’s insane
“Piracy shield” sounds pretty stupid. It needs more of a catchy name. “The Great Melonian Firewalls” maybe?
