    Well there are only three isps here and yes I understand what you are saying but. It never gets as far as government force it doesn’t have too. The ISP will drop me.

    Also the ISP is the media company lots of the time, and its only a crime that will go to court and win if I made money distributing copyrighted material.

    I don’t want my ISP to know much about what I’m doing either. They aren’t trustworthy, they often get caught illegally shaping traffic and such too.

        Don’t condescend to me. I understand the link between government and capital and am not an american.

        What are you even proposing anyways? I am against government oppression and copyright law in general. All private property is theft from the commons. But in the meantime I will use a VPN because I trust Mullvad in Sweden more than I trust my own ISPs.

        If I was committing crimes that were more serious then I would not use a VPN I would use a more robust security model.

        My ISP is not powerless without government. They have massive power, they control 1/3rd of all cellular and internet communications. And like I said also control large amounts of satellite TV and cable broadcasting.

                So apparently they changed the law in Canada in 2012 and now for noncommercial sharing you could be held liable for up to 5000$ for all works not per work. Commercial is per work. So I doubt anyone has been got for non-commerical. But I do know they come done hard on commercial sharing.
