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.

Small ISPs have zero interest in enforcing piracy. They don't want to lose the customers on their highest tiers. Comcast though, they suck

This is actually how private trackers operate lol, I got banned from one because I forgot to torrent anything in over 3 months since I was playing a huge game during that time.

This is why I have a seedbox. A small monthly fee to maintain access to sites that are impossible to join nowadays
