If you let your friend (or a stranger) drive your car, and they hit a pedestrian, are you guilty of a crime?
If you let your friend (or a stranger) use your internet connection, and they download copyrighted content, are you guilty of a crime?
Eli Morris
Wrong analogy. >If your friend has drugs in your car, are they now your drugs because they're in your car and your friend denies owning said drugs? This is essentially what someone using,your connection to download illegal shit is like. Yes, they reserve the righr to suspend your connection if it's used for illegal or criminal activity. Why is this even a question?
Jose Cook
you're mentally retarded.
Matthew Lewis
>"I don't understand shit so let me call someone retarded."
Jace Sanders
you're still retarded. Kill yourself
Ian Reyes
Right after I see Tyrone have his way with you.
Nathaniel Torres
Depends on your local legislation. I believe in Germany you're responsible for your connection, but in the neighboring countries not.
The fuck is wrong with Sup Forums?
Luke Wilson
Yes it's legal. Read their terms and conditions, they can do whatever the fuck they like to your service.
Use a VPN. Seriously, buy a vpn service (like mullvad or something on torrentfreak's recommended list), and pirate through that. Copyright notices over.

they have been dead for the better part of a year OP
Adrian Ramirez
exactly. What the hell is wrong with place?
Nathan Adams
ya but then i havw to download shit at the speed of a frozen snail
Isaiah Cook
Internet disconnected and possible charges brought against you or slower speeds... What to do, what to do...
Jaxon Hughes
Funny meme. If your IQ exceeds two digits, you should be able to rent a VPS somewhere in the Eastern Europe and set up a private VPN server for personal use. Literally 4 euros a month.
Jason Young
Forgot to add: you will more than likely be downloading either at your full speed or close to it.
Kevin Stewart
Most providers will shut down your service if they spot typical VPN traffic on VPS. Congratulations, cyber-nigger.
Nicholas Myers
It's easier than trying to understand and reflect.
William Ross
>has anyone else gotten this shit no, only you, ever >is it legal for them to turn off your internet? READ THE FUCKING CONTRACT NIGGER
Julian Johnson
Implying you've actually tried it. My VPS literally had a VPN-ready OS on the list.
Easton Turner
>VPN-ready OS Wow, now you're obviously retarded. Kill yourself twice.
Hunter Hill
What kind of providers do that? That is insane, not even China, Saudi Arabia or Iran censor like that.
Josiah Edwards
>I believe in Germany you're responsible for your connection please dont remind me on that...
Chase Powell
This is why you BUY a vpn. I get 3.5MB/s down. That's megabytes. If that's snail speed to you, then maybe consider waiting more than 10 minutes for a 4GB movie.
Carter Cooper
When you get a new ISP, maybe you stop downloading Game of Thrones from the pirate bay the day it comes out, OP. Use your fucking head a little. >SURELY NO COPYRIGHT TROLLS ARE IN THE SWARM OF THE LATEST EPISODE OF THE MOST POPULAR SHOW ON TELEVISION ON THE MOST POPULAR TORRENT INDEXER IN THE WORLD
Christopher Baker
I would if I didn't have a VPS which comes with an option to install a cent distro and automatically fetch and walk me through an OpenVPN install making everything work out of the box. Oh, and did I mention that it's in a 3rd world eastern european country with no dmca and gives me 100mbps down, all for only 4 euros? Boy I sure do love the posf-soviet block

Now clean my toilet, silly pole.

Bentley Lewis
Rent a seedbox then. You'll be able to download at full speed whenever you want.
Bentley Cruz
(((((american-born)))))
Lucas Johnson
No, those countries just block large swaths of the Internet to begin with.
Brandon Bailey
Yes, but you can always use a vpn. They just make it a hassle
Isaiah Powell
>they can do whatever the fuck they like to your service
in 2017 internet is a basic utility (like gas or electricity). how can it be legal for a service provider to turn off the service just because some MPAA/RIAA mafia cunts accuse you of copyright infringement? based just an accusation, no trial/conviction, no due process?
Daniel Powell
Here's the deal OP: the last thing your ISP wants to do is cut your service because it means less money for them. They'll probably reinstate your internet access if you submit even the laziest appeal.
Luke Davis
Because they have a fuckton more money than you do and nobody cares about your rights unless they can see down a barrel.
Thomas Price
You're also responsible in Poland. To be specific, if you "Don't appropriately secure" your shit and someone uses it for a crime, you're guilty of enabling the crime. It applies both to leaving your car keys in car and leaving your wifi open
Kayden Brown
The internet is a privilege not a right. Similar to having a car/drivers license.
Nolan Phillips
You think they give a shit about OP's money? Most likely they will get sued by the many companies OP pirated shit from
Benjamin Moore
>Uh no nigger, the internet is literally a human right
Carson Johnson
That's what you get when the content providers own the infrastructure.
If they were just 3% less greedy, they wouldn't let *anybody* use their infrastructure to access the internet. They're torn between overcharging you for access to cheap media now that it's a thing you know exists and protecting their "right" to overcharge you for the media itself.
Asher Johnson
welcome to the real world asshat
Kayden Morales
...
Lincoln Miller
maybe in the US.
Lucas Baker
call them up and explain that you have no idea what they're talking about and you don't have time for their bullshit. if they give you any trouble then raise your voice and get angrier. perhaps demand to speak to their superior. threaten a lawsuit because you're a very busy businessman who is just trying to get some work done. the only solution you'll accept is for them to stop bothering you about this.
Robert Scott
not dead, just rebranded
Jayden Martin
I got a warning for downloading an amatuer porn torrent once
welcome to comcast
Easton Stewart
Just put those messages in the spam folder and never read them again. The day they cut your connection you move to another ISP. Fucking faggots...
