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.

    Why should ISP lose revenue enforcing laws for another corpos benefit?

    If media industry was serious, they should pay for it 🫢

      Their game is just to try to make the ISPs liable; they don’t actually want it enforced. In fact, failure to enforce is the feature. They paint the ISP as complicit in the piracy then sue the ISP for hundreds of millions in damages hoping for a no-fault settlement. That’s a much better revenue stream than suing someone for 10k who can’t pay it.
