Cox tries to get contributory infringement ruling in Sony lawsuit overturned.

It feels dirty to agree with an ISP on something. But even the worst corporations are on the right side of something from time to time I suppose.

    Heh, the one time (or that series of times) I got “caught pirating” was at university, and the IT dept was super chill about it. They “didn’t know what I was doing”, but we’re concerned about my data usage (managed a couple TBs in a month in the mid 00s) and they slapped my hands for it. Was really fun going ‘I must have gotten a virus’ 5-6 times in a couple months as I dialed in the throttle speeds to a level they were chill with.

    Amazing how the tech students always struggled with viruses 🤔

      I remember discovering that if I plugged my laptop into where an abandoned printer was at my school I would get a full 100megabit pipe. At the time that was incredible.
