For me, I just get an additional urgency, like, if they block these things more and more I may as well download as much as I can while I still can. As a side effect I’m also passively seeding more.

I went to PB a lot more after gov went after it so it had an endless supply of mirrors and proxies. But I’m just the guy that will absolutely break into the Forbidden Knowledge section of the library.

Ooo, what books we pinching?

I believe the one teaching evolution is in there somewhere

Roughly a quarter

So it’s still beneficial to copyright companies and governments to block sites.
