ISP to Supreme Court: We shouldn’t have to disconnect users accused of piracy
ISP to Supreme Court: We shouldn’t have to disconnect users accused of piracy
Cox tries to get contributory infringement ruling in Sony lawsuit overturned.
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.

So I've rented a server for years. It's in the US and it's a couple bucks a month. It's fun to play with and I use it however I want. I've had an email server, a next cloud instance, and an open VPN instance to name a few things on it. Well I decided to connect a torrent client from my home to the openvpn instance on my server to see if I could do it. It worked really well until the company I rent from forwarded the DMCA hit back to me for downloading Rick and Morty. I should've known better but I thought a nameless faceless server farm wouldn't be worth the hassle of a DMCA but I was wrong.
you paid for that with an identity attached im guessing, i'm not really sure what else you expected to be honest.
whispers quietly in your ear: “Usenet”
Use.....net? Buddy, we're ALL using the net right now!
Lol, I've been on that train for a decade. I just wanted to try using my own personal VPN server to torrent which kinda defeats the purpose of a VPN I guess.
You chose the wrong provider lol
Pretty much all cloud providers monitor their servers for piracy and malware distribution/downloads.
True, but it wasn't the cloud provider that caught it. They just forwarded the letter to me from the company that monitors torrent swarms and records IPs.
