So the only thing helping would be VPN + DNS change... not too easy, but not too hard either to be honest, but it will probably exclude a lot of people from access
Majority of the population I'd wager tbh, most of the general public is not tech-savvy enough to get around this.
But savvy enough to access the streams... right
Yes, correct. I'm not sure why you tried posting that as some sort of gotcha. It's much easier for a person to have accessed one of these streams than to change DNS and put on a VPN. While that is very easy for us and people in our circles, I think you're severely overestimating the technical prowess of the general population.
Most of the time it is just searching for something like 'football match stream free'. Thats how I first got into piracy when I was twelve years old, only that I streamed anime instead.
Exactly, it's really easy to access a lot of the streams. There's little to zero technical knowledge needed so this law will likely be very effective against most viewers as much as that sucks.
