You're absolutely right and you're obviously the only other person on this board that even has the slightest clue how this whole process works and how they get caught. All of this happens so you, as the customer, dont get in trouble for something that IS a felony (and has a high $$$ charge). Its not the ISP that even cares that you're doing it, but other companies that protect copyright holders and their material. Dont use torrent programs that neatly makes a list of IPs for them to lookup and you wouldnt get caught in the act. As you said, the first two times are warnings so you know whats going on, and the third time is when it happens. Also, as you said, if you're too dumb to figure this process out and prevent it from your end, then you deserve to be disconnected.
They are not getting paid for this, they're preventing YOU and themselves from being sued. Other ISPs also do this, the MAJOR ones have enough money to pay for it in order for you not to realize what goes on behind the scenes when you're getting caught downloading illegal material. What happens is that you use torrents to download this, which creates an IP list of all that is downloading/uploading. Third party companies that work for the people you're stealing from gather these IPs and with that alone can track down who owns the IP. Thats how you get in trouble, and suddenlink steps in the way rather than you getting in trouble for it. Its not suddenlink that is out to get you, but the people you're stealing from.
You're an idiot. Its not the ISP's dumbass. They arnt the one that created the software that you're infringing copyright with, nor are they the ones losing money from you stealing.
You're as stupid as I'd imagine. I almost feel like we've spoken before.
The policy has always been there. Has nothing to do with them, it has to do with you stealing in stupid means and getting caught by the people who you're stealing from. Your ISP has no choice to handle it since they're protecting YOU from being sued over copyright infrigement.
I got a better idea for yall... STOP ILLLLEGGAAALLLLYYYYY DOWNLOADING STUFF THAT DOESNT BELONG TO YOU!!:)
Its funny that yall complain because there are means put into place to prevent people from stealing stuff. Thats like getting upset because you break into a gas station to steal stuff, but get in trouble for it and you cant seem to understand whats wrong.
Dont be dumb. Dont steal. Dont have any problems.
Also, for all of you that are ignorant (most of you), you dont need court to figure this out. Learn how networks work, and then you'll realize that your IP address tells a LOT about you. Dont be stupid and use torrentz because that is what gets your IP onto a list, which allows the other people to drop those reports on you.
IT IS NOT SUDDENLINK! They dont care what you're doing, its other companys and the people that lose money from you being a thief. Think about it honestly. At least Suddenlink gives YOU a chance not to be stupid about how you download shit. AND At least Suddenlink takes the wrap FOR YOU so that YOU dont have to deal with copyright issues over the stuff YOU are illegally downloading.
Dont be dumb people. If it wasnt for them, you'd simply be in trouble for copyright. Plain and simple.
