Wide scale civil disobedience is the only solution to unjust laws passed by a corrupt and illegitimate sovereign.


People should start having "LAN parties", except instead of playing games, they should just start doing massive torrenting with 20 tb + NAS devices. evade the mafIAA and start amassing "master" collections, i.e. ALL music...ever. ALL books (libgen), etc.


That concept is as old as software itself:

In Canada, this might actually be fully legal to do, if you decided to make it a political demonstration, and did it on the steps of the Legislature of your province of choice.

Basically, the same type of civil disobedience that happens at the legislature every April 20th for Marijuana, but for Piracy, and the right to copy.


Here's betting all this will be a boon to pirate tech if it continues forward to become active law.

And who, exactly is the illegitimate sovereign here?
