      If you can circumvent it, it’s not blocked.

      Given this seems to bizarrely be a copyright thing, it’s going to fail at its intended goal immediately—pirates typically don’t mind jumping through a hoop to get stuff for free.

        So if you can drive faster than the speedlimit, there’s no speedlimit. …

        Its blocked no matter if some can circumvent it or not. You are discussing the effectiveness of the block that you argue is not there

          If someone intends to block traffic on a road using a road block, and puts the block mostly on the pavement next to the road, the block is there but it’s not blocking any cars.

          An ineffective block does not block what it’s supposed to, it’s still a block, it’s just not blocking anything.

          We might be getting into philosophy here though
