Many such cases…
@civility@hexbear.net Is this true?
I have to imagine that a big factor here is that these ISPs are regional fiefdoms of the internet.
If you start terminating all the users who are accused of piracy, then you will effectively cut off a huge chunk of your customer base, which is obviously not good for business. But what is worse is that those customers have no place to go because there is realistically only one or two options for high speed internet in a region. (Ignoring Starlink, etc. for the sake of argument)
So Johnny sails the high seas and gets the household internet account shut down and your working from home and need reliable internet access and you find that the cable company actually has a monopoly in your area and there’s no one else to switch to. How long before people start waking up to that fact and the spotlight is on breaking up these ISPs?
