join:2005-01-03 | Another (bad?) analogy Saying ISPs are responsible for stopping illegal file transfer is like saying the construction company that built the road is responsible for stopping drunk drivers. It's like saying the carpenter that built my house is responsible for making sure I don't make meth in it.
ISP stands for Internet Service Provider. As such, an ISP should do just that: provide internet service. Not provide policing services or babysitting services or investigative services. INTERNET service. Period.

Instead, use those letters to start fires in your stove/fireplace (just not this week; it is 100f here)! Save 'em up, you'll be good to go all winter long.

Charter has nothing to do with your (alleged) piracy. They're simply fulfilling their legal obligation to notify you when another third party has caught you doing something they feel is illegal. The folks at Charter don't proactively watch your connection and say "Uh oh, Hellgod is doing something he probably shouldn't be doing... let's create a shit-ton of paperwork and headaches for ourselves and start sending him DMCA letters even though we can't be held liable for what he does on our network."
Having been on the ISP side of hundreds of DMCA complaints, trust me when I say that your provider has no more desire to deal with DMCA bullshit than you do.
