Yeah, I suppose I should clarify - that was in response to the objection to paying for pirated content; it’s different from the service provider’s point of view, but from the end user’s point of view, they’re paying for pirated content either way.

I don’t have an issue paying my ISP to access pirated content, that’s the same as paying for Usenet IMO. I’m paying for network access for a lot of different things, pirated content just happens to be part of it.

yeah, from an end user perspective, it’s the same.

But i was referring mostly to the legal technicalities there, where one would be significantly more spicy than the other.

Nice root instance btw, getting jumpscared by pawb.social is a rather funny timeline to live in.
