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?

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?

you're mentally retarded.

>"I don't understand shit so let me call someone retarded."

you're still retarded. Kill yourself

Right after I see Tyrone have his way with you.

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?

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.

>time warner cable

they have been dead for the better part of a year OP

exactly. What the hell is wrong with place?

ya but then i havw to download shit at the speed of a frozen snail

Internet disconnected and possible charges brought against you or slower speeds...
What to do, what to do...

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.

Forgot to add: you will more than likely be downloading either at your full speed or close to it.

Most providers will shut down your service if they spot typical VPN traffic on VPS. Congratulations, cyber-nigger.

It's easier than trying to understand and reflect.

>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

Implying you've actually tried it. My VPS literally had a VPN-ready OS on the list.

>VPN-ready OS
Wow, now you're obviously retarded. Kill yourself twice.

What kind of providers do that? That is insane, not even China, Saudi Arabia or Iran censor like that.

>I believe in Germany you're responsible for your connection
please dont remind me on that...

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.

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

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.

>be american-born
>only ever been to the uk to visit old folks in liverpool
>get called a pole
On what grounds mate

>public tracker user problems

Hahahahahahahaha

Rent a seedbox then. You'll be able to download at full speed whenever you want.

(((((american-born)))))

No, those countries just block large swaths of the Internet to begin with.

Yes, but you can always use a vpn. They just make it a hassle

>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?

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.

Because they have a fuckton more money than you do and nobody cares about your rights unless they can see down a barrel.

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

The internet is a privilege not a right. Similar to having a car/drivers license.

You think they give a shit about OP's money? Most likely they will get sued by the many companies OP pirated shit from

>Uh no nigger, the internet is literally a human right

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.

welcome to the real world asshat

...

maybe in the US.

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.

not dead, just rebranded

I got a warning for downloading an amatuer porn torrent once

welcome to comcast

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...
