The ongoing and often extreme and overreaching battle against piracy within the audiovisual industry continues to escalate, with recent discussions focusing on devices capable of infringing intellectual property (IP) rights. As stated by Sheila Cassells, Executive VP at the Audiovisual Anti-Piracy Alliance (AAPA), companies in the entertainment sector should be wary of “any technological development” that could potentially grant access to pirated content.
From historical technology like the VCR to modern advances like AI, all technology holds inherent potentials for piracy.
At the center of these discussions are specific devices including set-top boxes, Firesticks, and Android apps, often condemned for enabling piracy. The AAPA’s somewhat radical standpoint is a call to outlaw the production, marketing, and distribution of any such device.
Well I guess cameras, pens, pencils, and paper should be illegal. I can draw Mickey mouse and infringe on Disney IP
Outlaw TV’s and monitors because they can be used to display pirated material
So basically everything that exists to store information?
Cameras, Pencils, Papers, Printers, Language, Eyes…
Man they are on so much crack.

You have to be dumb as fuck to make that comment. I said it bluntly in layman’s terms anyone should be able to understand.
I can’t stand you privileged cunts that act like that world doesn’t exists. It’s alive and thriving.
