If these certificates were actively being used when they were leaked, are they sure that they only banned people circumventing DRM? How do they roll out new certs?
Events like this show the advantages of a multi-polar world. For example, servers in Russia usually form a safe haven for material like this. Or at least a "safer" haven. The same is true the other way around. Content that is factually prohibited in Russia can be published in the EU. One good example for this is, TV Rain, a Russian media outlet I support and really like. They face prosecution in Russia and are now located in the Netherlands.
what you want does not require a multipolar world. It requires that there be no regulatory capture, and representative democracy. It requires rule of law, but also not rule _by_ law (written with vested interests in mind). It requires civic citizens demanding it, and requires checks and balances.

Too bad these certificates are a bit long to memorise, but no doubt Streisand Effect will have already happened.
Meanwhile the "true" pirates still win, with no accounts to suspend.

I left Digg after that fiasco...
It has been cracked for years among the scene, this is just the spreading of some certs publicly.

Some are hardware based, sooooo....

So you can't even roll the new certificates without bricking untold amount of devices. Well there will be a lot of new quality content on the sea.

One of these is feasible. The other requires people to obey laws so that laws can be broken.
