That could be a fun kind of ddos attack for a botnet - compromise your competitors' machines and download collective TBs of infringing material, then report it as an anonymous whistleblower!
Service termination based on accusation alone? What a great legal invention. Im sure it won't ever be abused
Time to start accusing the judges for shit.
See how they like it.
The Fifth Circuit is fascist. They don't give a fuck what you accuse them of, cause they have no shame.
Oh. It’s not shame. It’s annoying them with loss of internet privileges.
They’ll care because it inconveniences them while sending each other their pedo-porn stash.
Send false notices to the business accounts of the law firms involved in this.
I suppose this means that if someone tells USPS that a burned DVD of The Bee Movie has been mailed to me, USPS should stop delivering any mail to me?
That is one way to stop junk mail...
Sign me up!
DMCA the fuck out of every media company.
Accuse them of piracy.
Is it true? Who gives a fuck.
Terminate their accounts.
Also the judges. This way they can’t browse all their CP without fixing their fuck ups
No, you see courts only apply this precedent when it can hurt poor people.
Exactly my thoughts! Who's the ISP for the RIAA?
Comcast.
Well... they do hang out in the public torrents of movies, games, shows, etc.
That's how they get IP addresses and have their bots send DMCA notices.
Exactly what law states internet connections should be terminated for users accused of piracy?
And are we going to selectively enforce this against poor people, or are they going to start demanding the trunk lines feeding AI datacenters be cut as well? (I asked rhetorically).
Come on, you don't think an industry that habitually uses automated takedown requests regardless of merit would falsely accuse anyone, do you?
AI shouldn’t be allowed to touch the internet because it’s basically stealing everything and never giving references which is plagiarism.
Might be a good idea to torrent whatever you need before the corpos manage to get some law passed that makes it so that isps will have to terminate users for that.
Need a new internet protocol that doesnt use ISPs
You want a protocol that will build physical last-mile connections to peoples' houses?
I second this. Anyone know the code reference?
The fifth circuit can die in a fire. It'd be a great preview of hell, too.
I thought everyone is innocent until proven guilty?
ISPs aren’t a court of law, and neither are the assholes going after the pirates.
In fact, the reality is they can’t go after them in a court of law because they don’t have enough evidence for it. Which is exactly why they want to be allowed to go all extra-judicial.
Did you really?
This is some bullshit.
Good fuckin luck with that. You're just gonna have people adopting more obfuscated piracy methods.
At this point it's just the n00bs. Everyone who knows shit about shit isn't going to be caught in one of these dragnets
Get letter from crapcast about downloading copyrighted material. Next search: 'how to torrent without isp knowing'
I only read the headline, but I don't wanna die because some bands make it impossible to buy their music on shitty, poorly designed websites.
That is the end of democracy
