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.
Of course they don’t want to force paying customers to, y’know, stop being paying customers.
If the US only awarded actual damages like most of the rest of the world, instead of inflated punitive damages, then this would pretty much be a non-issue. Rightsholders in the US see targeting copyright infringement as a source of income, not a necessary indemnity.

An ethernet cable, not a telephone or optical fibre cable
Now the question is whether ISPs or labels can offer the “supreme” court the bigger bribe.

Well, corporations (best and worst) are always on their own side… which sometimes happens to be the same as their customers’ :)
I agree!
