    Too bad these certificates are a bit long to memorise, but no doubt Streisand Effect will have already happened.

    Meanwhile the "true" pirates still win, with no accounts to suspend.

    Events like this show the advantages of a multi-polar world. For example, servers in Russia usually form a safe haven for material like this. Or at least a "safer" haven. The same is true the other way around. Content that is factually prohibited in Russia can be published in the EU. One good example for this is, TV Rain, a Russian media outlet I support and really like. They face prosecution in Russia and are now located in the Netherlands.

      > a multi-polar world.

      what you want does not require a multipolar world. It requires that there be no regulatory capture, and representative democracy. It requires rule of law, but also not rule _by_ law (written with vested interests in mind). It requires civic citizens demanding it, and requires checks and balances.

    If these certificates were actively being used when they were leaked, are they sure that they only banned people circumventing DRM? How do they roll out new certs?
