I mean, logically, it would make sense to push VPNs into illegality or create a lot of gray area there if you're also planning to introduce the Aussie social media ban. Logically. I personally think both are no good.

I've read some headlines about illegal streaming being targeted and shut down in Europe. If there was lobby money invested, I suspect it is the likes of sports rights holders who would like you to pay them extortionate amounts of money and not sail the high seas for the price of a VPN.

Modstå, kære dansker.

If omnipotent deity of your choice forbid this ever lands at the ECJ I'm not sure they will side with the privacy/freedom of speech side of the argument.

FINALLY! What took them so long!? I mean it's a totalitarian grab, but seriously, if I was behind this. I would have immediately made VPN's illegal. Then tracking what my citizens do online, would have been made much easier!

It’s great if you only want to rip-off other people. I can see reasonable usage though within that - I have some PoC Unity games knocking around from a while back where my placeholder graphics were just squares and the sounds simple waves, and I might have taken them further with animated spirites. Of course, without AI might also have gone in a radically unconventional aesthetic direction based around my lack of artistic talent and accidentally created something original.
