ISP to Supreme Court: We shouldn’t have to disconnect users accused of piracy (arstechnica.com)

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've had VPNs email me that they'll terminate my account if they find me pirating again after getting notified of DMCA. That was a few years ago by the same VPN I'm still with and have been pirating ever since. I haven't gotten any more emails so either I didn't get caught again or they're just not notifying me any more.

I didn't want to lose the VPN though since it gives me a long term IP and allows incoming port for torrenting
