Today is the day of action to stop website blocking in Canada. Here are the best things you can do to stop Bell and their cronies from screwing up the Internet:

>website blocking?
>in MY canada?
>it's more likely than you think
it is basically SOPA in leafland
good infographics
wow fuck those guys
FairPlay Canada members. note how the CBC (a federal bipartisan organization) is lobbying as well
Hahahaha retard leafs made fun of the US for repealing net neutrality, now they are the ones getting censored
all this talk about how people who torrent do not pay for the conent is malarkey. It was found that over half of file-sharers pay for Netflix, or other streaming services. These claims of lost revenue are bogus.

I'll call you nordic if you sign
All you leafs! GET IN HERE. this is serious. You will not be able to name the jew if this passes: unfairplay.ca
the mainstream meteor is talking about this protest today: archive.fo
not even close to SOPA, I can still use VPNs and "piracy websites"
Once the list of piracy sites (whatever the standard) is addressed, it is very likely that the Bell coalition will turn its attention to other sites and services such as virtual private networks (VPNs). This is not mere speculation. Rather, it is taking Bell and its allies at their word on how they believe certain services and sites constitute theft. The use of VPNs, which enhance privacy but also allow users to access out-of-market content, has been sore spot for the companies for many years. In 2015, Rogers executive David Purdy reportedly called for shutting down VPNs, while Bell executive Mary Ann Turcke specifically targeted VPN usage to access U.S. Netflix, telling an industry conference:
>“It has to become socially unacceptable to admit to another human being that you are VPNing into U.S. Netflix. Like throwing garbage out your car window – you just don’t do it. We have to get engaged and tell people they are stealing. When we were young and made the error of swiping candy bars at the checkout of the grocery store, what did our parents do? They marched us back in, humiliated us, told us to apologize to the nice lady and likely scolded us on the way home.”
All these organizations receive truckload of subsidies.
I blame da jooz
>I blame da jooz
as you should. But please, you have the power to stop this. Tell all your friends.
>Leafs will be blocked from Sup Forums
Oh no...that sucks ...
You need to see the bigger picture here. If Canada falls, so will the USA.
Your government will want to emulate the same policy when it comes to piracy and website blocking, if not worse. Canada has usually been a legal grey-area for filesharing, but this will put us in line with the rest of the west.
This
I pay for cable (lol it's cause of sportsball) and Netflix and Amazon Prime. I prefer torrenting often because I download to my media server so I don't have to browse through netflix on every device, especially when some devices run netflix fucking slow
Does anything in this prevent smaller ISPs from not blocking things?
sounds like you have a comfy setup, user.
This will extend far beyond filesharing if it passes. They will want to censor anything they do not like.
>"Give someone an inch and they'll take a mile" - Adolf Hitler
I think it is up to the ISP what they want to block. A notable isp, Teksavvy, has come out in opposition of Bell, Telus, Shaw, and Rogers. pic related. They are on /ourside/
A lot of people are using the hashtag #DontCensor and #unfairplay.
twitter.com
Also it is not just teksavvy against this. nearly all independent ISPs are against it.
Yeah, it was a pretty easy project to build and it made me realize the joy in actually doing things instead of gaming all the time, and it was free since I used old parts laying around
For sure though the goal here is censorship under the cover of piracy. Nothing new here.
I've thought about using TekSavvy before, but I threatened to leave and Shaw removed my bandwidth limits so I never did. Regardless, TekSavvy uses Shaw's infrastructure and I wonder if Shaw would be able to limit access anyway.
don't let them win this. the UK is cucked beyond belief, and so by extension, we are cucked too.
>threatened to leave and Shaw removed my bandwidth limits
how can I do this? I have a measly 150GB data cap. Although they do not charge overage fees, they say they will phone if I keep going over. (And they recently did this)
Do I have to call the Shaw Loyalty Care team?
By the way, are you on any private trackers? HDB, BTN, PTP? maybe you are sitting in one of their ircs already and I have seen you.
>pay piracy tax on media
>pirate sites blocked anyway
Holy shit, you leafs really are cucked
Yes this is a good point.
>A blank media levy was introduced in Canada in 1997, by the addition of Part VIII, "Private Copying", to the Canadian Copyright Act. The power to set rates and to set the distribution allocation is vested in the Copyright Board of Canada. The Copyright Board has handed the task of collecting and distributing the funds to the Canadian Private Copying Collective, which is a non-profit private organization.
en.wikipedia.org
Oh no, you mean Canadian ISPs don't want you to illegally download copyrighted material? How awful. Aren't you glad you have all of those Net Neutrality laws unlike the US?
try not to bicker amongst ourselves. that is what (((they))) want. We should be working together to stop these bills.
Why would I want to stop this? Making you pay for American made music, movies, and applications will only strengthen our economy.
Theft is wrong user. Why do you support theft?
see
I've supported tek savvy for years and will continue to do so. Another good point for then was when they lowered their prices a few years back and told us that it was because their service was improving and cheaper and that that was the essence of competition.
>There's a chance that Sup Forums get censored and we get rid of canadians.
I'm troubled this time.
>Slippery Slope
Right? This is why it's legal to knowingly spread HIV in California. Don't want any horrid laws regulating the sex of homosexuals.
We should get rid of laws against Murder as well, because it might get extended to anyone who breaks a nail.

I will definitly pohne Shaw and get them to lower my fees. I am getting charged more than the other with 10x less speed and a data cap., This is absurd.
Have a look at the United kingdom. They had a website blocking ban, and now are recently getting a porn ban where you must sign in with proof of identification. They are losing more and more internet freedom each year.
I didn't get the removed completely, but I download a lot and I've never paid anything so I assume they must be like 800GB+.
I had been a customer of theirs for 10+ years at the time and I was tired of their shit.
I told them that I download a lot (Youtube, Steam, Netflix etc) and I'm paying for the ability to use them. Their router/modem software doesn't even tell me how much I've used and I shouldn't need to do a lot to check that to stay under the cap. Also bandwidth caps are almost completely arbitrary and I could switch to another ISP for better service. Then they raised my limits to whatever (more than 5 or 600 GB).
It also helps that my family watches normie TV, and I watch hockey (or did my team is managed by retards now) so we have a decent cable package. They probably didn't wanna lose that.
>Implying you can actually block websites without a billion-dollar DPI solution that will slow traffic for everybody and produce a metric fuckton of false positives
Yeah, we have some cable packages as well, but they are cucking us with only 150GB/month.
That is their goal. They will investigate all avenues. They recently spoke on how much they hate how Canadians use a VPN to access the USA Netflix, and want to rectify that.
> *chan.*
heh, nothing personnel, white nationalists
KYS. Making VPNs illegal means no more thought crimes.
And there's a spot right in-between those two that seems to be serviceable. But then again, the UK is kind of dumb and is choosing between "degeneracy" laws and outright communism.
Just because change is incremental doesn't mean you can't support blatantly good changes. Laws to permit sharing of media between friends was never meant to encompass mass-sharing via worldwide communication.
Maybe Canadian Netflix should pay for the rights to stream that content instead of doing silly run-arounds. Maybe if I make a movie I'm entitled to get paid for my fucking work.
Downloading free shit grade movies, is probably the only thing keeping poor plebs from snapping.
You're just upset because you don't have freedom of speech. It's not my fault your government is shit.
Fuck Canada. I hope they block you guys from being able to come to Sup Forums too.
TekSavvy also tried to defend it's subscribers' privacy when sued by a film studio, but also lost and ended up releasing their information
On one hand, TekSavvy really doesn't care about piracy, but on the other hands they're too small and big film studios could possibly target them
>unironically defending paying for jewish media
What do Jews gain by this? Having would be opponents withdraw from society is their optimal chance of destroying us. Making them opt back in is beyond retarded.
If you have a problem with (((media))) then stop consuming it. Otherwise better get those shekels out.
Its amazing how much people pay for intrenets in the americas. Internet is one of the few things that are really cheap here
20-35€/month in Finland gets you
>download: 100Mbps
>upload: 10Mbps
>no datacap
>a box you hook up to ur tv to show non-national television
I only found out about datacaps a few years ago. Had no idea some places restrict that. No ISP in Finland has these
This
hahah another burger all butthurt, eat shit faggot, we're here to stay u fuck face nigger
Kek
the options here are shit. The big media telecoms buy up the rights to distribute the shows in Canada.
See game of thrones. $150 dollar cable package is required to watch it in Canada, instead of just allowing Canadians to pay for HBO streaming independently.
Again, you have to look at the bigger picture. Isn't the is the American way to bring FREEDOM to other countries? You seem to be poor supporters of freedom.
yeah, I understand what you mean.
Europeans are really blessed with what they have. Hopefully we will get a national push for fibre optics soon. It is a lot more difficult to install a network with a country this big
Stop torrenting, idiots. Just watch streaming sites
but... net neutrality! Internet freedom!
Of course I support free speech. The more your government cracks down on it, the more people will begin to fight for real change and not faggoty work-arounds like hiding your God-given rights behind proxies.
Which (((content creators))) are actually supporting this? Or is that just a ploy to trick good goys into censorship?
I pay 36$ a month in western NY for 100mbps as well. No data caps.
they would block the streaming sites too user. and perform deep packet inspection to detect VPNs.
I agree. One shouldn't have to hide behind a proxy if they are afraid of what to say. Snowden put it well:
>“Arguing that you don't care about the right to privacy because you have nothing to hide is no different than saying you don't care about free speech because you have nothing to say.”
you can see a list of big corporations in favour of it by going to unfairplay.ca
lucky you
(((They))) tried this in Aus.Only brainlets and phonefags get BTFO.
don't forget that 90% of the population are brainlets and phonefags. I don't want any percentage of people being censored, no matter how much of a retardwojak they are.
Lightspeed is another alternative to Shaw. again, 10x the speed for the same price, along with unlimited internet.
>Isn't the is the American way to bring FREEDOM to other countries?
only in the form of $5 million dollar boeing cruise missiles, friend :^)
Juce is another ISP that protects your privacy
I'd take those if it gave is more freedom desu.
Where is Telus in all of this?
>tweet these organizations
I don't have a fucking twatter and when does this ever work? Do these companies give any fucks other than their almighty dollar?
it worked with stopping SOPA in the USA. I emailed the CRTC using the link in the OP
>Telus restricted access to a pro-union website in 2005. It simultaneously blocked access to an additional 766 websites hosted by the same computer server.
You tell us!
There is a group called the "Asian Television network", which is supporting this.
crtc.gc.ca
en.wikipedia.org
I hope you all signed! Must be something happened down south too, with regards to net neutrality.
bump?
hah nice try satan but you wont scare me. What about using remote servers to torrent your shit then scp or ftping the files back.
How can they possibly block all VPNs? The only possible way to do this is range ban entire countries.
>welcome to the (((Internet))), goy, errr friend
Coming to a USA near you.
When canacucks get what they deserve with big government. Feels good man
this sounds like it would mean leafs could not post here. we should support this.
Opera browser has a built in VPN that you can use to access all the "blocked" websites. The Australian government is full of tech illiterate boomer retards.
Not to mention that fast forwarding and rewinding on streaming sucks. I can instantly do that on saved content without waiting 2-3 minutes for the buffer to refill. When I'm bingewatching TV series I don't feel like watching the shitty opening credits 10 times in a row.
>blocking VPN
HAHAHAHAH
>162281035
The point of it is that we shouldn't have to resort to these measures you described. Rather, privacy should be respected.
They will probably collecting known VPN ip ranges. maybe hiro can send them his list?
>trying to access thepiratebay in currentyear+1
>Error: You access to this website has been blocked. Pass users can circumvent this VPN ban
This cancer will spread. It has happened in UK and australia already.
This is (((media corporations))) lobbying. There should be a complete ban on lobbying desu.
that is very shortsighted of you, user
agreed lol
This is true. Having media on the home network is much more comfy.
this
There are VPN companies which are petitioning against this. That should tell you something.
...
>privacy should be respected.
i agree but i run under the assumption that my shits tracked and logged. Call me paranoid but i dont want to go to jail for downloading altium in 2010 or something like that.
I don't care much.
Actually I do, but I just really hate game of thrones type of fags and their tears will be worth it.
Fuck you fat curly wizards
you have to think about the 90% of normies that don't use a VPN or proxy. Those are the ones we should be concerned about. It affects us all.
Game of thrones will only have 6 more episodes in 2019 anyways. So you don't have to worry about the fanbase for much longer.
>haha let's sacrifice a piece of our freedom so I can see a group I somewhat dislike suffer
What a fucking loser you are. You couldn't be more beta if you tried
>blocking VPN
Do they not know what they're doing. Or is tanking their tech economy part of the plan?
Why do you retards even use VPN's? Who do you think you're hiding your traffic from, the government, lol no. Quite the opposite, you're of greater interest with a VPN.
As this article says, it is a reasonable deduction to make from this bill:
michaelgeist.ca
Most do not care about government tracking as it is unfeasible to hide from them. They mostly use VPNs to prevent advertisers and corporations from obtaining info on you.
I don't want the government to know I spend all day on pornhub watching interracial tranny foot fetish tentacle porn
see? the average joe is concerned about this
See, that's the difference leaf. I want my government to know I watch shitty diaper furry futa cuckold porn. Come and try to stop me, I got an AR 15 and a bill of rights to shove down your throat.
I hope there's some disgusted NSA woman (affirmative action) forced to watch in horror every goddamn day. Sometimes twice a day.
That is an interesting mindset, albeit it sounds like a waste of time for the NSA or any governmental organization to focus on a citizen like that. I wish they can instead put those funds into following up on FBI tips
So if the ISP's block Sup Forums in Canada I don't ever have to see another abhorrent shitty leaf post again? Why would I not want this? Because I Jews more?
because in the end, shitposting doesn't mean anything. Website blocking is a real threat that would affect everyone to some degree, from normie to turbo autist alike.
Joking. The reality is they collect so much data that they probably only ever look at it in relation to large-scale type stuff. Hacking a city power grid, "influencing" an election (read: political wankery), targeting a large corporation (money), etc.
If they ever wanted you gone, they would just plant kiddy porn on your devices wether you were looking at it or not. No need to ever actually care what you look at.
Oh no! How will I pirate Canadian TV shows?
Wait.... nobody bothers to pirate Canadian TV shows.
they don't just censor pirate sites.
>Telus restricted access to a pro-union website in 2005. It simultaneously blocked access to an additional 766 websites hosted by the same computer server.
