No truer words were ever said. It's not the ISP's job to protect these guys from bad business decisions. I wonder if his attitude would be the same if "the pirates" figured out a way to steal service from his ISP? What would the change of attitude be, in that case? It's not like there's anyone downstream that he'd be asking for help.
ISPs are generally fairly capable of protecting their own networks when they want to (how many threads have been on here about MODEM tampering, caps, throttling and the like over the years).
If you're going to post something like this, you really need to do so with comparisons of equivalency.
