This needs to go to the next level. Do some torrenting off of the public wifi at the courthouse and get the courthouse's internet terminated.
I wish that would work.
Laws are only for the peasants to follow
Supreme Court?
I don't think you want that. That will cause every ISP to block VPN and torrent traffic out of fear because essentially this will be "law" being established if they get their hands on it
I was referring to the courthouse where the ruling took place.
They mean the next level of courts.
They aren't suggesting that you pirate from the supreme court (although I have nothing against it)
Yes, they asked, "Supreme Court?" But I clarified that is not what I meant by next level.
I meant escalate the number of people being disconnected starting with the court that made the ruling. Or perhaps the judge wants that so as to force ISPs to be declared as utilities.
ISP's want it both ways. They want the protection of utilities without the regulations.
