Are we?

When was the last widely available iOS jailbreak available? The last Xbox One one? PS4? Android bootloaders?

Youtube is a different beast, of course, but that's why the powers that be pushed EME down our throat (and maybe it doesn't yet but it WILL require protected media paths and stuff in the future). Once EME is reasonably well done and prevalent -- we'll have to download youtube through the analog hole.

I don't know. Netflix is doing a pretty good job shutting down VPN proxying.

Yes, I know there are some providers that still work... Shhhh!

However, it's a lot easier for Netflix to blacklist an IP (or an entire IP range) than it is for a provider to setup a whole new proxy - likely connected via a residential ISP.

But they're not doing a good job in blacklisting debit card providers (providers that let you generate your own unique debit card number and start a free trial on this new card, resulting in using the service for free) or banning shared accounts (i.e. 4 people meet on the internet only for the purposes of buying one account).

VPN connections are relatively easier to block.
