You see what I did with that title? If not, you’ll get it down the line.
When ISPs sit idly by and don’t try to stop piracy they are liable. At least that is what one court has deemed. Of course, the ISP is fighting it. And being slimy about avoiding paying the $40+ million in damages the court rules against them.
There is a line for liability –in my mind– when it comes to corporations or ISPs or the like, if you try but are not 100% successful, then you shouldn’t be liable; but if you half-ass it and really don’t try, then you should 100% be liable as you are courting infringers to come to your service and break the law.
