Motivations
The article says:

> Marcotte was motivated to create the flag after the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) and the Advanced Access Content System Licensing Administrator (AACS LA) began issuing cease and desist letters to websites publishing the key 09 F9 11 02 9D 74 E3 5B D8 41 56 C5 63 56 88 C0 (commonly referred to as 09-F9).

But I see no source for this.

How do we know this specifically were his motivations?

In fact, do we know that the "nation" Marcotte refers to is the United States? Mago Mercurio (talk) 01:44, 4 October 2023 (UTC)
