VPNs, don't enter the "Dark Side" of the web without one!!

Sometimes Netflix pukes on one so you have to be able to toggle it on and off easily...
 
Ran across this - You should get a VPN anyway for your router.

You probably have nothing to worry about: The "Protecting Lawful Streaming Act," which was introduced earlier this month by Senator Thom Tillis, a Republican from North Carolina, doesn't target casual internet users. The law specifies that it doesn't apply to people who use illegal streaming services or "individuals who access pirated streams or unwittingly stream unauthorized copies of copyrighted works."

Rather, it's focused on "commercial, for-profit streaming piracy services" that make money from illegally streaming copyrighted material.

Tillis said that this practice costs the US economy nearly $30 billion yearly.

"This commonsense legislation was drafted with the input of creators, user groups, and technology companies and is narrowly targeted so that only criminal organizations are punished and that no individual streamer has to worry about the fear of prosecution," he wrote in a statement.

If a violator is prosecuted, they could be imprisoned up to 10 years for multiple offenses, and they could be fined.

Last year, the Department of Justice charged two computer programmers from Las Vegas for illegal pirating thousands of hours of television shows from Netflix (NFLX) and Hulu and streaming them on websites called iStreamItAll and Jetflicks. One man admitted to earning more than $1 million from his piracy operations.

The "Protecting Lawful Streaming Act" could become a law as soon as this week when President Donald Trump is expected to sign the stimulus legislation.
