In a move predicted by anyone who knows (and hates big corporations), ISPs filed a claim saying they would lose too much business if they were forced to remove users who were identified as downloading torrents and participating in online piracy.
Are you kidding? Wow, if you did what you were supposed to, there would be consequences? And because you don’t, nobody takes your threats seriously. And because no one takes your threats seriously there is rampant abuse? Who could have followed that system of logi — oh, pretty much anyone with half a brain.
This is why big corporations suck. Because they only care about profit and not the people who actually do the creation. Maybe all this will lead to a proletariat creators revolution? Now that would be interesting.
PS Today’s “Don’t want to remove pirates” generative AI image brought to you by “the front sail is doing something weird” and “the ship is definitely backwards” (for how the sails are blowing), but at least ChatGPT made it look cool.
