With all this anti piracy shyt going on you never know if a fullscale shutdown or stoppage against rom sites will happen similar to whhat happened to Emuparadise.
But this isn't antipriacy. This is more so companies trying to get a cut. This specifically states it's going after people who profit from copyrighted material. Also, they have been fighting piracy for years. One thing goes down and something new comes to take it's place. I would say the people who need to worry are those that host IPTV services. But that aside, I don't expect us to see much change.

1) this shyt was already illegal
2) the sites i use to stream shyt arent for profit anyway
3) you can still torrent with a VPN right?

1) It's a felony now.
2) do they have ads on the sites? If so they profit off illegal streams
3) at your own risk. They've created a small claims copyright court to make it easier to sue folks.
