ISPs just don't want to be made to police copyright offenses for free. if the RIAA/MPAA paid them money to aid in enforcement, you can bet they be doing it in a heartbeat.

well, no, there's no amount of money the riaa/mpaa could pay them, which would justify the amounts lost to terminating services for everyone that's pirating, lol, they'd go out of business
I hope you're right, and that people scrolling social media aren't the biggest source of income to ISP's.

Internet access needs to be made a utility and treated as such, essential as any other.
Is it even possible to get a job without internet access these days?
I can't believe I'm rooting for ISPs.
To them these are customers. It's just their material conditions.
they want to bring in the most money and expend the least effort. I can respect that.
Policing customers/users is a PITA and generally sux to do even on the smaller scale of an office. Much cheaper and easier to do nothing.
