Supreme Court to decide whether ISPs must disconnect users accused of piracy

[bitjunkie@lemmy.world]

Ah yes I keep forgetting about all of those countries that the US Supreme Court has jurisdiction over

Thanks for reminding me that I need to go train my LLM on the new season of Yellowjackets

All public wifi will be disconnected pretty quickly.

Life depends more on accessing things online. This would just be punishing people beyond the scope of the case against people.

Yep there is no way they can block I2P, they have to block all of it.

[utopiah@lemmy.world]

Exactly, sure disconnect customers from the Internet if they use it for entertainment... but once they use it to earn the income that pays their bills, it becomes questionable... and once it is in practice required to be a citizen, at the local, national or supra national level then it becomes a totally different question, to which the answer is basically no, you can't disconnect someone otherwise you remove their citizenship.

That still won’t work. Either the forwarded port is getting blocked by Mullvad (which is bad) or you’re bypassing Mullvad to use the forwarded port (which is really bad). You’ve essentially roped yourself into a double-NAT situation, where your router has a forwarded port but the router behind yours (the VPN server, which you have no control over) doesn’t.

I don't think eSIM providers do but I admit I didn't check. It'd be even more convenient, no need to leave your home to switch.

let's all fall on our sword to make sure Disney never loses a potential subscriber for Marvel Wars. Truly, we are defending the interests of the people here

I think in Finland it is a basic utility like power and water. It is certainly priced like that.

Besides your point but this is the aspect about Gorsuch that I can't seem to make internally consistent. He almost always rules in terms of native rights – even when, I think, it stretches his supposed originalist guiding principle – yet is more than happy to rule as a conservative on all other times and support "industry" and big business (even when it stretches his supposed originalist guiding principle).

I know that nothing necessitates a person to act logically and most act from emotion, more than anything, but most people, I find, have a relative reason they think they're being logically consistent but I can't seem to suss even that out, with regards to him.

Given the US is now ran by the New Fuhrer? I could see this being used against criticism of leadership or anything else resembling free will and not just piracy. I also find it sad that the day the US will probably die as a free country and turn into a dictatorship, is the same day it gained its independence in the first place.

[beardedblaze@lemmy.world]

Epic lol

[manomorphos@lemmy.world]

I hope that this doesn't come to the US. Even now, a lot of the available Wifi hotspots are from cable companies (which require their account logins, so they definitely will know who you are).

Would giving a throwaway VOIP number that's untraceable to someone fool that kind of service, I wonder? Unless caught right away, they would probably have to get their identity on an individual basis.

[darleys_brew@lemmy.ml]

According to the article this is the USA. How on brand.

[kevincox@lemmy.ml]

In China there is no such thing as a throwaway number (at least outside of black markets). All numbers require ID to acquire.

For the US it would be a bit different. VOIP numbers do exist but they are often also blocked by services (this isn't black and white but there are services that will quite accurately map numbers into ranges like home/cell/business/VoIP).

But of course the assumption would be that if they start requiring phone numbers for WiFi access the logical next step would be to make all numbers traceable to humans.

Instructions unclear, now sitting in basement.

[darkfuture@lemmy.world]

Lol.

Do ISPs like making money?

Then they shouldn't disconnect users who pirate.

I get notifications from my ISP all the time. They don't do anything though because they like the money I give them.

[rozodru@lemmy.world]

give it a few months, they're working up to it.
