“Imagine losing internet access because someone in your household downloaded pirated music.”
I am fully confident they will make the worst, and most unconstitutional, choice.
They will make the choice that they are paid to make

“Nothing in the constitution says internet use is a right”
I’m gonna go to businesses I don’t like, hop on the Wi-Fi, and pirate from all the most obvious trackers.
Great sentiment but we all know a business will get a pass for this just like when Meta got busted torrenting all those books and were told its okay because they’re using it to train their AI.
only one way to find out!
Is that the conclusion? I thought that’s still under investigation. I remember reading about it months after the first reports.
It intentionally got buried in legal, it’s likely going to take 10 years and end up as a settlement out of court
Selective enforcement.
“Wanna learn about the threats to your livelihood posed by this upcoming court case? Pay us just $5 a month! Don’t worry, we’ll automatically increase that to $10 a month after three months. No action required.”
😘
Careful, you could lose Internet access for that
Remember when a certain company just paid a large fine for pirating information to train AI?
So step 1 should be to remove Internet access to Meta, if you aren’t going to do that, then it is 100% corrupt.
I hope the SCOTUS justices aren’t using 3-strikes-you’re-out ISPs! All it would take is three random DMCA takedown notices and they’d lose Internet.
What a FASCINATING concept!
Sony so mad at Cox for not cutting off someone’s Internet for downloading they’ll take it to the SCOTUS, but they won’t even use the frankly abusive laws they already have access to to just sue the end user? What is even going on?
Sony wanted mo money. Yo money wasn’t enough for them. So they got a jury to agree that Cox owes them 1 Billion dollars.
Let’s all sing about how much we love Corporate Governance.
Please don’t shut off my internet telecom daddy I’ll drink another Mountain Dew Verification Can!
Because those laws aren’t doing enough to scare people into obeying. This is the next step in trying to terrorize people into submission.
Sony is really anti consumer. I went to buy one of their PC games the other day, but it is not available in the country I am presently in right now along with a few other developing counties when I looked into it. So if you want the title, your only option is Torrent it and such which I am sure is common here.
Sony is really anti consumer.
Throwback to when Sony intentionally packaged literal rootkits on their music CDs, so anyone who used the CD to play music had the rootkit automatically installed. And then when they were forced to make a rootkit remover, they simply installed more malware to hide any file names that matched the rootkit’s name. Which introduced an easy way for hackers to hide their own malware, by simply naming it the same as the rootkit.
Right. I forgot about that. What a despicable company. It is almost like to be successful, you have to play dirty but I am not so sure it is Sony’s fault per se as if they don’t their competitors will, which will always ensure the dirty players win. It is a systemic failure of society that we have allowed unchecked Capitalism which ironically will eventually suck the oxygen out of the room to even its own detriment.
The ruling could determine whether access to the internet—today’s lifeline for education, work, and civic life—can be taken away as punishment for digital misdeeds
And this is how we get a CCP Digital Firewall. Combine this with the Flock cameras, Ring doorbells, and years of data networks collecting information on us for advertising, and I do not see this going well at all.
accused of repeat copyright infringements
Does this court determine whether this concrete accusation against a person holds as well, or does this court determine whether an accusation is enough?
They will let A.I. resolves disputes, just like YouTube does.

or is it /s?

americans sure are getting a hell of a time
Sadly, a lot of the internet is hosted in America, so anything that fucks them will fuck us
