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.

They would need to pay much, very much.

The costs of doing what they want are already a big fucking burden and in reality.

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.

The ISPs don't want to enforce it ever usually. They like just minding their own business running the money press without idiotic disturbances.
