Is it really a corner-case, or, is it the first representation of a =
group of ordinary netizens sufficiently frustrated by policy that they =
found a workaround?
If it=E2=80=99s a corner-case, it=E2=80=99s unlikely to get replicated =
by a similar level of frustration among a different group of netizens.
OTOH, if, as I suspect, it=E2=80=99s merely the first (or first known to =
us) example of such behavior, then it may be more of a predictive result =
than a corner case.
Every trend starts somewhere. Today, gamblers in Quebec don=E2=80=99t =
need to work around government stupidity, they can just go gamble. If =
the government truly manages to implement the proposed stupidity, that =
might serve as enough motivation to duplicate the =E2=80=9CNew Zealand =
Netflix Effect=E2=80=9D in Quebec.
Surely time will tell, but I would not be so quick to dismiss this as a =
potential workaround after watching how quickly TOR was adopted to move =
video around during the Arab Spring.
