Forums - Gaming Discussion - Sony leaks reveal Hollywood is trying to break DNS, the backbone of the internet

Wow this is so useless.This sounds like a lot of work for the ISP's and there is barely any benefit from it,seriously look at all the ways to get around that.This would only hurt the people who weren't even planning on pirating in the first place.

Calling DNS as backbone is just wrong. There is easily a better word for it, since in this context backbone has its very own meaning.



must-have-list for platforms i don't own yet:

WiiU: Donkey Kong

XBone: Dead Rising 3, Ryse

This has already happened in Iceland lol, for most of the big ISPs. Very easy to get around though.

It is the backbone in a figuratively sense for the vast majority of internet users. Think of all the things that won't even start to work without DNS. A missing DNS would not only pretty much kill the visible internet but also completely break SSL/TLS and with it most forms of secure communication.

Sure, it is not doing the heavy lifting but everything would be fucked without it. Especially since IPv6.

Don't you see how the movie industry is dying? Just like when it was dying because of VHS and before that because of TV and how the music industry died because of cassettes and napster. Or how the arcades died because of home consoles... oh wait.

Very ambitious and probably unlawfull proposition.

People would just memorize the IP. Or post links by IP. This does nothing other than for casual people looking.

A week before this law would be passed there would already be numerous Chrome and FF plugins who would direct traffic to a DNS server that has all the banned addresses.
No casual will even need to know what DNS is to bypass the block.
