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.

The ISPs don't want to enforce it ever usually. They like just minding their own business running the money press without idiotic disturbances.
