You can still get smoked by the record companies themselves. They pay contractors to camp the swarms and collect IP addresses, then they subpoena the ISP for your info to serve you with papers. ISPs still have to respond to that. In my experience they give you a series of warnings first though

Nah Copyright Law is something even the founders recognized was important.

NO ONE even 50 years ago would have had the idea that copyright should extend past the life of the owner. In 1909 when modern copyright law was formed, it was a flat 50 year time window and nothing could change that, not even extensions, because if you could not make something profitable in 50 years and find a way to use it to make new things which could be copywritten, then you did not deserve to have a monopoly on that idea.

The jewish trick bullshit happened because of Mickey Mouse in the 70s and Sonny Bono in the 90s

That's a good way to encourage piracy if anything. All the innocents ISP users will be cut off, they would be in their right to sue Netflix to be refunded and would have no other choice but pirate to see the stuff they used to pay but can't access anymore. Also stuff like that kill goodwill and spread the knowledge/idea of piracy.
Better live with it and cope by hoping that piracy translate into extra word of mouth and critical praise for their shows. I guess they don't do it because they are greedy and need to squeeze profitability. They added paid subscription but with fucking ads, they can't milk their customers too much at once so they do this shit now.

If you knew the first thing about copyright law, you'd know that a lot of attention was spent putting strict limitations on exactly what could be claimed IP. "Ideas can't be copyrighted" is one of the core principles.

That's why the DMCA was such a big deal and a pain in the ass. Traditional copyright was based primarily on fixed forms. Physical books and magazines, sheet music, recordings, etc. They leveraged the marginal cost and difficulty of duplication. A major counterfeit operation required specialized equipment and meatspace distribution methods.

And physical media owners retained mant key rights that copyright owners could not violate.

Incorrect. Without guaranteed return on investment there is no reason to invent new things. Monopolies are the only way to do that. Patents and Copyright should both be eternal. If you don't like it discover and create something better yourself.

Good. The record judes only started going after ISPs for settlement money because suing grandma for incalculable damages wasn't very popular.

Here is what happened.
>Cox impliments a copyright strike system to catch pirates

>Cox starts cutting service and sending nasty emails to customers the system they payfor catches
>Verizon doesn't
>Cox gets sued by copyright faggots cause they know that their users violated copyright.

>Cox fights it and loses multiple times because the same people they were cooperating with were now back stabbing them.
>Verizon shrugs and says we don't watch what our users do. Not our job, so there wasn't much of a case against them.
>Cox finally won a big win, but spent a decade losing customers to Verizon and has aging infrastructure and notoriously bad service.

That was why Cox had interest in implementing. TV and movies pirated means their cable service isn't getting money. Other cable companies like Comcast and time warner have obvious interests in monitoring piracy. COX less so.
However I find it funny it bit Cox in the ass all because they tried playing ball to prop up their dying cable service just to have their cable service still die and lose market share of internet to competitors.

>and the poor should not be making the rich ricjer
If you let go of this mindset, I'm sure it would feel freeing for you too. I grew well off and had my parents buy me most the consoles of the late 1990's and 2000's One example being PS2. 15 years later, I still have most of my disks intact and the console itself still works like new. That said, I still ended up recently pirating the games I already had. Starting up a torrent client and getting shit for free is one of the best feelings ever. In fact, the process of pirating, and watching my NAS box slowly fill up with is more content is more entertaining than consuming the content itself. Like I said, it's freeing to not dance around morals or have a pre-scripted justification to virtue signal to others for something you truly love.

They'll go after VPNs is my feeling. Watching geoblocked videos on YouTube is so nice. Its fucked that you could watch a playlist of TV episodes but episode 7 is blocked for some fucking reason and then you need to figure out what country to switch to. Its bizarre because if you dont have the VPN on the episode won't even show up in the YouTube search so it makes you think "oh they probably removed it due to copyright". But then you Google the episode name and it shows up in THAT search.

I was laughing pretty hard at Meta claiming that them download/uploading/seeding explicitly copyrighted materials from Anna's archive was actually fair use because the US needs to be a global leader in "MUH AI"
