As others have said ISPs only care so much as to appease the very simple court requirements. They will tell you about the file being shared that needs to not be shared and tell you to secure wifi, typically they just reroute you to a page making ya click okay this has been rectified.

You get like 15 of these warnings before they will truly uncustomer you and thats all hearsay of which I have never even heard of actually happening to anyone.

It has been on the cards for a long time that TPTB will use the updated Copyright laws to tighten the screws for i'net censorship.

The bulk of comcast customer don't use torrent services. comcast won't feel the pinch if a few hundred thousand go elsewhere. If you can't go elsewhere,invest in a good VPN. I have NORD and I got the 36 month deal for a hundred bucks they offer every so often. people has gotta quit waiting for tech companies to play fair. they are owned by tyrants.

various ISP's have been doing this for years. they don't care, at least most of the big ones don't, they only do it to appease the media companies. you shouldn't be surprised that Comcast et al aren't that interested in canceling paying customer's service.

This is why you pay like $3/month for a VPN and never worry about it again.

I think there's better response than ducking and evading which simply allows to go on being your absolute authority in everything you do. They aren't Comcast or the entertainment industry. They're a collective army of all the globalist CEOs and their largest investors - which just happens to be the same three or four unhanged group of megalomaniacs.

if your VPN is $3/month it's probably trash

It's good enough to stop the "we caught you torrenting" warnings from my ISP, and that's good enough for me. Not like I'm plotting a police-guided tour of the Capitol building or something.

the quickest way to get rid of those warnings from ISP's is to not torrent any hollywood garbage.

They're extremely interested in enforcing the cult's absolute authority. All of those oligarch CEOs are the insane enemy empire that has to be destroyed.

DMCA should never have existed.
