Re: I'm tired of ISPs implying usage = pirate

said by otty:

The bottom line is whether it is pirated content or not that is being downloaded is of NO concern to the ISP.
That's not strictly true. If you rent out the basement of your house to someone and he uses the space to grow pot would that not be a concern to you? He may be paying rent to be there but he is using YOUR property to do something illegal and you have every right to take action against him.

The same applies to ISPs and piracy. Like it or not copyright infringement IS illegal, an ISPs network is effectively private property and your monthly bill is like the rent on that property. Just because ISPs choose not to get involved with enforcement doesn't mean they CAN'T.

actually, a landlord doesn't have any legal right to do anything to a tenant, not even enter without notice. what he CAN do is call the cops
