The law in Canada limits the ISP's risk exposure and the pursuable damages of the rightsholder. Also it definitely would cost them if they told me "we have not responded to this notice from the rightsholder" and then turned around and did exactly that. That would be a flat out lie to their client. I'd have grounds to sue in a situation like that.

Also, I've been doing this for almost a decade and never had any problems. Maybe you shouldn't assume that your situation is everyone's situation.

I believe so, back in the day of more analog phone infrastructure

Your ISP has the same access to your data, but they also have a payment account linked to you, and they regularly cooperate with rights holders and law enforcement.

This varies widely by ISP and jurisdiction. I never use a VPN and my ISP doesn't give a fuck what I download. They forward me the scary letters from the rights holders but they always preface it with "don't worry, we ain't no snitch"

Nowadays the ringing you hear isn't necessarily correlated with a phone ringing on the other end.

I still have RiF installed on my phone. Does that answer your question?

...I think Simon and Garfunkel has a song about the movie "Here's to you Mrs. Robertson"...

This is a really funny comment to read if you've actually seen the movie.

  1. The song is Mrs. Robinson
  2. The song isn't "about the movie", Simon and Garfunkel literally composed the song for the movie. The soundtrack of that movie is entirely Simon and Garfunkel songs.

You're comparing apples and oranges. It should be like this:

I sell my apples for $1500

People buy them

I sell my apples for $1500 (but they cost me less to make)

People buy them, I make more money

I think people don't normally mind if you post your own blogposts on a platform like Lemmy as long as you don't spam it and the content is actually relevant

No idea where you are or what the labour laws or union situation are. But where I work, a consultation like that is a doctor's appointment and can therefore be taken as medical leave during working hours.
