The Supreme Court has been asked to intervene in a ruling won by UMG, Sony Music Entertainment, and more, which forces an ISP to terminate customers for piracy.
We once got a letter from our isp because someone who was at our dnd game night was using our internet to download shit without telling us so that was fun.
He stopped when we showed him the letter (he was the only guy with a laptop so it had to be him at the time)
In that guys defence, it’s pretty common to just have your torrent client on in the background doing its thing. He was likely unaware either until seeing the notice.
We weren’t super angry at him, it was more a “you can’t do that here, we don’t want the internet suing us. Cause they’d sue us, not you” and he did stop, we never got a letter again.
