     Hilariously easy to circumvent. But I suppose for the regular 'Joe' and 'Jane' it might stop them.

     Then again, anyone who knows their salt in regards to #piracy would just laugh at this!

     @arstechnica ridiculous. The only people this would prevent from actually pirating anything, are those that can't afford a VPN. Reasonable to assume these same individuals would likely be too poor to legally access the copyrighted media regardless.

     @arstechnica Isn't it funny that they are going "exact opposite" of freedom under the name of freedom?
