I'm gonna go to businesses I don't like, hop on the Wi-Fi, and pirate from all the most obvious trackers.

Selective enforcement.

Great sentiment but we all know a business will get a pass for this just like when Meta got busted torrenting all those books and were told its okay because they're using it to train their AI.

only one way to find out!

Is that the conclusion? I thought that's still under investigation. I remember reading about it months after the first reports.

It intentionally got buried in legal, it's likely going to take 10 years and end up as a settlement out of court

This seems like the best strategy realistically. If scotus makes it everyones problem, then make it a problem for those with the most to lose from losing internet access.

Starbucks in particular would have a bad time lol

Nah, then it just becomes a defacto situation of the content creation companies (Disney, Sony, etc) owning the telecom companies. So you will truly be a single content household, like a Disney Household or a Paramount Household.

... And Sean Kennedy's listener licence becomes just a little closer to reality.

(I know that no one knows who that is, but Tales From the Afternoon was ironically prophetic and well ahead of it's time. Unfortunately I'm one of a very few people who knows who he is lol)
