Seems like the electric companies should also pay a hefty fine, as they provided the needed infrastructure to enable the piracy. /s

Technically the media conglomerates should be the ones to be sued: they provide material to be pirated in the first place!

I don't think this should be sarcasm, the power companies are liable in the same way

It's sarcasm because nobody should be held liable.

Remind me why we don't all start throwing explosives all over and destroy everything?

Bit of an overreaction to news that an ISP didn't throw its customers under the bus, doncha think?

How would ISP ever knew what their clients do if they use proxy or vpn? I assume it was not the case here?
