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.

Yeah IP owners really want to have all the benefits of ownership with none of the drawbacks. After lobbying for and receiving a blank check to be able to rent seek indefinitely, they are constantly acting to outsource any cost of detection and enforcement of "their" property. Disgusting how goddamn entitled they are.

this is why everyone should pirate literally anything they can, even if they don't particularly want it.

er, with a few very gross exceptions that shouldn't exist.
