Sure you would. Water companies have reservoirs, and often people put boats in the water, move them from dock to dock, take them out of the water, and occasionally they get stolen. It’s not the water companies fault. -mel via cell On Jun 3, 2023, at 3:08 PM, Terrence de Kat wrote: You wouldn't download a boat ;) -- Regards, Terrence de Kat, PhD/MTh/BPsy Darkness Reigns (Holding) B.V.

Are we back to the 2000's again?
Apparently the RIAA is back suing ISP's (Cox in this case) for users pirating music. It was pretty bogus back then, but with the uptake of TLS for almost everything and DoH to conceal DNS requests what exactly is an ISP supposed to do these days? Throw in a VPN and the pirates completely cut out the ISP. Am I missing something? https://yro.slashdot.org/story/23/06/02/2043209/music-pirates-are-not-terrorists-record-labels-argue-in-court Mike
