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.

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.
- I hope you're right, and that people scrolling social media aren't the biggest source of income to ISP's.
- i truly hope you're right. enforcing copyright offenses for downloaders is an absolute waste of everyone's resources regardless of who pays. piracy is a market force, and the corpos need to just acknowledge that.
