It’s not an ISP sticking up for its customers, it’s an ISP afraid of being legally held responsible for the actions of thousands of people it does not control (sets a bad precedent requiring more resources than an ISP wants to have to spend tracking its customers, and possibly more than an ISP can legally do). It just so happens that lines up with protecting its customers.

So far there are only few cases where the MAFIAA friends were actually right in their claims. Wheter they are gonna open their eyes and follow successful initiatives like Canadian Thorny one is yet to be seen.

What they do is connect to the swarms and get the IP’s that way. No court order needed.

Then they pass the IP along to the ISP. No need for any personal data.

How do these companies obtain user data? Like IP addresses and logs of downloaded files? Isn’t that illegal without a court order?
