Was on torrentfreak and clicked on the link to piratbay. Got this result:
"The Oslo District Court has ruled that Telenor shall block access to the website you are searching for."
You mean motivation to buy an annual subscription to VPN services 🙄
Yes, it sucks that this is now effectively an added cost of using the internet safely.
So I consider *that* motivation to make the internet safe again. Tear down mass-surveillance laws and erect robust privacy-protection laws.

On one hand... yeah, it's probably going to be one of those things you'll need forever, here on out.
On the other hand... the price for my VPN has stayed stable through several streaming platform price increases, to the point where my VPN subscription fee is now cheaper than most streaming platform memberships.
Personally, I'd say that makes it a price worth paying.
