The fifth circuit believes regional monopolies should be exploited to control consumers.
With proper competition, banning someone for suspected misuse would only chase them to competitors.
The fifth circuit is incompetent.
Secretary KHAAAAAAANNNNNNN!!!
more like 5th circus
A company “accusing” someone of piracy isn’t proof. Access to the internet is almost essential these days. If you can prove a person is pirating prosecute them under the law with fines or even incarceration if warranted. But stripping internet access from someone shouldn’t be seen as an acceptable punishment for a free citizen anyway.
Whoever owns the network attached to the IP address also shouldn’t be responsible for actions of every user. Let’s ban an entire company, college, or government institution from the internet because an IP showed up on a list… dumb ruling.
This needs to go to the next level. Do some torrenting off of the public wifi at the courthouse and get the courthouse’s internet terminated.
I wish that would work.
Laws are only for the peasants to follow
Sony, WB, and Universal logic:
The people at that address probably use water to make meth. Cut off their water so they can’t make meth.
I’m just glad they’re still distracted with torrents…
The implication of this being that I am behind the times, stuck on outdated tech, and didn’t even know it is uncomfortable.
Oh God I’m uncomfortable too now
What’s old is new
Are you guys using VCR to pirate media or something?
Shhhh
The first rule of [REDACTED] club, y’all.
So no due process, just “cut the Internet of the people we tell you to.” What the fuck?
How’s that plutocracy piss taste?
The 5th circuit includes Louisiana, Texas, and Mississippi so they can go fuck themselves. You think I’ll live by the opinion of some backwater states? Only a corrupt supreme court would uphold this ruling-ohhh fuckity fuck fuck!
If y’all don’t like it, encourage your friends in Texas to fucking vote. This kangaroo court gets to be the reliable Conservative rubber stamp it is, because they’re appointed by whatever president is in power when vacancies become available.
Biden was able to appoint two, and Obama appointed two, Clinton one. Bush Jr. appointed four, Reagan appointed two, and Trump appointed fucking six, which explains why they constantly capitulate to big business.
Voting matters. There is so much at stake.
I mean yes, please vote people.
However the supreme court is stacked because Bitch McConnell is a piece of shit.
FUN FACT: Five Justices of the Supreme Court were appointed by presidents who were inaugurated despite losing the popular vote! That’s a full majority! And purely by coincidence, all of them are Republicans! :D
…alright, obviously it’s not fun. I can’t believe the audacity some people have to act surprised and offended when people say the Court is illegitimate.
so they can go fuck themselves.
They didn’t need your permission. That’s how they keep breaking records for lowest IQ. ;)
If they were any more inbred, they’d be a sandwich.
You are the hero we deserve. Take my upvote.
Soooooo VPN?
These “owners” are pathetic… Get a VPN tho fuck them
Needs to go higher.
It’s not.
The 5th Circuit remanded the case to the district court for a new trial on damages. Record labels can expect a lower payout because the appeals court said they can’t obtain separate damages awards for multiple songs on the same album.
