The mere accusation causing someone to lose the Internet, which is vital to modern life, would be insane.

Additionally, it would do little to nothing to stop piracy.

they actually do think that if you stop piracy people will flock back to streaming services when in reality all that will happen is i'll just watch more twitch.

i'd just go to a local fast food resturant and bring my portable piracy machine

i imagine you in a mcdonalds with an 80’s era easy bake oven plugged into an outlet in a booth with a sign saying “free cookies.”

I just watch free shit like Tubi, Pluto, Roku, YouTube, Vimeo, Peertube, DailyMotion, etc.

You wouldn't be able to access twitch. You'd have to buy cable TV or an antenna for the free channels. Either way media wins via commercials.
