It feels dirty to agree with an ISP on something. But even the worst corporations are on the right side of something from time to time I suppose.
ISPs just don’t want to be made to police copyright offenses for free. if the RIAA/MPAA paid them money to aid in enforcement, you can bet they be doing it in a heartbeat.
They would need to pay much, very much.
The costs of doing what they want are already a big fucking burden and in reality.
i truly hope you’re right. enforcing copyright offenses for downloaders is an absolute waste of everyone’s resources regardless of who pays. piracy is a market force, and the corpos need to just acknowledge that.
