Putting 3 words in quotes, attributing them to someone, not providing the full communication (i.e., without context), and generating a sweeping conclusion from all that, is a clear sign that someone is producing a false narrative.
People that have the truth on their side don't need to do that.
> ISPs make lots of money off piracy too. They shouldn't be cut off from Visa or MasterCard either.
I seriously doubt that people sign up with their ISP so they can pirate vs. getting a general internet connection to browse Facebook. But that's a moot point since ISPs, fiber carriers, etc, just provide connections and transit, they don't generally host anything.
Complaining about ISPs making a profit from piracy is like complaining about highways and roads making a profit from people that commit crimes and use cars. It does not make sense.
I have no idea how bad the piracy is via Mega, but considering their previous business was driven by piracy, outright promoted and rewarded piracy, and generated 400MM from piracy, I think it's wise to take everything said and done with some salt.
