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

even the worst corporations are on the right side of something from time
