> Block BEARD does not mention VPNs, but its broad definition of “service provider” could be interpreted to include them.

The prospect of all VPN providers being required to block pirate sites, or being unable to operate in the US, is very scary indeed

Piracy, eh? So copied without approval.

Like archive.is or other news aggregator and paywall-bypass sites.

Or, just needs 1 falsely filed DMCA to ban. And whoops, made a mistake, and no process to unban.

By sneaking in with 'piracy', they're setting the stage to block any content they don't like.

Intellectual property has been a cover story for censorship for hundreds of years. Nothing new here.
