Now the question is whether ISPs or labels can offer the “supreme” court the bigger bribe.

Oh, I didn’t remember. Time to report my own post… Lol. Let’s see if mods want to lock this thread then they can do it.

Imagine them disconnecting someone’s land-line phone if they detected heresy against Zeus & Mount Olympus.

They should argue that they are not qualified to be a police force, nor a courthouse. They are simply a private business & a utility.

A better analogy might be shutting off their water because they were using it to make naughty ice sculptures, which are forbidden by the HOA.

Because it takes work for them for no pay. If they get paid they will do it in an instant.

If the US only awarded actual damages like most of the rest of the world, instead of inflated punitive damages, then this would pretty much be a non-issue. Rightsholders in the US see targeting copyright infringement as a source of income, not a necessary indemnity.

Well, corporations (best and worst) are always on their own side… which sometimes happens to be the same as their customers’ :)

An ethernet cable, not a telephone or optical fibre cable

One cool thing about piracy battles is ISPs’ interests are aligned with the pirates. It’s the record labels who are against it.
