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.

    If you do something illegal, you should be arrested.

    Copyright infringement lawsuits are a far cry from bomb threats or the like.

        So you’re saying copyright infringement is on par with speeding or parking past the meter’s end? Eh, fair enough.

          Honestly it is less severe than speeding. Copyright was an invention of the pre-digital era. Now that we all use computers, so many things we do every day are technically copyright infringement that it is absurd to even have these kinds of conversations.

          I was just pointing out a logical fallacy. It’s literally impossible to do the thing you said.

          This is just facts, they aren’t an opinion

        Yeah, I’ve been ticketed for speeding, and that certainly doesn’t come with the threat of arrest unless I’m driving super recklessly or something (but that’s a different offense altogether).
