I hope not…
I have read so much about this subject on Troypoint, however, I’m not sure or understand where sites like “Sportsfire” and “Rapid Streamz” for example fall in this category. They are free but broadcast all sports and other genres for viewing.

I don’t see how it can be done. At least not within the next 100 years or so. There will be all types of stop gap bills before anything real will be actually put into law…

Really? The only way they will ever stop digital piracy is to turn the Internet OFF. Just like they attempted to stop music shares, they will fail with this bill. It’s time-consuming. It’s expensive. And sites will change addresses. And let’s not forget technology. New technology is created faster than politicians or content owners ever do. With the right software, anyone can download just about any digital media and own it from any content subscription service available.
