ISP Grande says that it's not liable for pirating subscribers. Torrent client devs are more directly related to piracy, the ISP suggests.

    Wait! Those torrent clients are written with programming languages! We should sue the people who made the programming languages for encouraging piracy!

    It’s pretty easy: there’s no culpability on either side. It’s not either-or. If guns and ammo and knife manufacturers are not responsible for murder than neither are ISPs and software developers responsible for piracy.

    If the courts don’t like that an IP isn’t a person, then they can pressure congress to change the laws. Until then, everyone can go fuck off

    With that logic they should sue the creators of the AV1 codec as well. Lots of pirated movies will be encoded with it…

    They should sue movie producers. After all, they regularly supply the pirates with fresh wares.
