No, it's really not
#yalereport

> There are two approaches to addressing piracy: first, copyright reform and, second, prohibiting unlawful actions that facilitate the reception of programs from Internet sites.

In other words it's not the actual piracy they want to prevent, it's enabling technology. Like FLOSS.

> australia as example

yeah

> With respect to the second approach, sections 9 and 10 of the Radiocommunication Act currently make it an offence to decode, retransmit, and operate devices, equipment, or components to receive an unlawfully decrypted subscription program. These provisions should be moved to the
broadcasting Act and expanded to include all forms of media content, whether received through satellites or through
the Internet.

provisions.

UGH, terrible, just terrible #canada

Yet another example of how they rushed the deployment of these vaccines. That should have shown up in testing, and the issue could have been fixed or mitigated. But the trials were far too small to notice stuff like this.
