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.

I can't believe I'm rooting for ISPs.

Tbh, im doing that from time to time, they themselves couldn't care less about piracy or online hate or anything like that. So they tend to argue in court that they shouldn't have the burden to ban any website, any person or any company, also they don't want to store the logs of millions of users because the government wants to Persecute some people.

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.
