ISP to Supreme Court: We shouldn’t have to disconnect users accused of piracy

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.

Shut down their access to computer stores and the power companies while you're at it. Only fair. No piracy without computers or power.

The road that we're slowly headed down actually leads to a reality not too far from what you describe.

Computers are increasingly becoming a nested-doll situation wherein the end user is only given access to a lower privileged portion of hardware that exists within a larger supervisory system, of sorts. It will all be (and currently is) marketed as "for your security" "features" while owner control of computer systems is slowly being eroded.
