We pay for 4K, but we don’t get more than 720p unless we use some proprietary shit hardware and agree to their super-invasive “privacy policy” - and they expect people to NOT set sail in the high seas? GTFO…
I’m torn. I think everybody should fight back the predatory practices of the entertainment industry. But the more mainstream the piracy practices become, the more crackdown there’s gonna be, and the more of a hassle it’s gonna be to find pirated content.
Infiltrate them to track users like they already do now. And if your answer to that is ‘‘VPN’’, there are already countries where these are forbidden by law, what’s to stop them from being outlawed in more countries in the future.
the more pirating there is the more incentive there is to find ways around the crackdown too so wouldn’t be too worried. also they will presumably stop when they understand that pirating does not decrease when you increase crackdowns (or does not increase because of less crack downs).

What can they possibly do to private trackers?

If enough people pirate, there will be popular support for reforming copyright, so eventually there’s less crackdown
Popular support rarely changes anything. Money talks to power, people talk to themselves
The corpos will get rid of copyright when it becomes inconvenient. Like when they want to use copywritten data to train AI models.
