Re: BTGUARD. Argh Mateys!

Canadian and therefore exempt from stupid US laws.

Hate to break it to you, but some stupid US laws manage to find their way around the world in some way, shape or form. While SOPA/PIPA were killed here in the US, similar legislation was introduced in some EU countries and I think actually managed to pass in some of them.

Unless the US blocks access to Canadian VPN services.

Not sure how viable blocking VPN access will be, not to mention that it will prevent some people from using VPN for something useful, like work. For example, the company that I work for has VPN servers in the UK and Singapore. Just because I am VPN-ing into a foreign server, how do you tell if I am doing so for piracy or for work-related purposes? From an ISP perspective, all you see is encrypted traffic.

Nothing lasts forever; true. But there will always be a way around unjust laws.

For now I sing Oh Canada.
