lets hope this is DNS blocking....I dont use my ISP's dns.
 
I think DNS blocking would be easiest to implement.
 
either way, I refuse to buy anything from village roadshow and foxtel.

whatever shall we do...

It's so dumb hey. They're trying to roll with a bandaid solution to a problem they're avoiding trying to admit; their current distribution model is outdated and no longer fit for purpose. I can buy a Blu-Ray season of a tv series cheaper than I can buy the season on Google Play, for example...so why would I pay more for a version I get less product with?

I've said it before and I'll say it again, if they offered the content digitally as the shows are released and at a reasonable cost then I'll happily pay. But paying for Foxtel, Netflix, Stan AND Presto in order to keep up with all the shows I want to watch can get farked!

It will lead to more people getting viruses and what worries me is these days a lot of them are ransomware!

 

It's going to cost the economy more money than all the jobs supposedly lost because of copyright infringement.

 

since its profitable for somebody to start a fake website to infect people, I am very worried about this.

only because you work in a position that's fixing those problems as they arise. :P

 

It's still quite easy to keep safe if you're just a little bit careful.

Whoever said rehab.... Probably where I should have been....

im going through some stuff... on a car/house related note, im doing a stripes and saying goodbye to the G6 and strongly considering selling the focus, the silver lining is I still plan to buy another place and a BFT to replace the focus so I literally have nothing but a sensible mortgage. BF F6 Manual is what im thinking....



edit: obviously I left out the parr where I sold my house and counting down days till settlement now...

If it's only 6-800 to fix I'd be skeptical of his reasons to sell. Even if he's lost his job surely he could find that cash somewhere so he didn't have to sell.
