As many of ye know, anti-e-pirates are gud at posting statistics & numbers which these staticians unethically obtained by accessing these pirate sites themselves & being part of the "swarm" while pulling out many imaginary numbers out their a**. So, let's take their numbers & show them how their policies will cost more, Objectively Valuable jerbs. 'Ere's one source & idea on

"We really need to just take their internet away for a year per charge."
From le link: "The impacts of video piracy on both the greater market and on small businesses are similar to those of music piracy. A report from NetNames indicates that 96.3 million people streamed pirated video in January 2013, while 148.6 million people downloaded pirated video content."
Let's assume that, in total, the number of e-pirates in the werld is only 150 mill. (It's actually probz closer to one billyun.)
Let's take an average of $20 per month for internet. It's obvs much higher, especially since my intarnet is higher & is slower than 97% of the country, according to some ping testing site or something I went to a few months ago. Also consider many o' u pay for both a PC & phone connection simultaneously.
So, time for math:
150 mill peeps X $20 month X 12 months = $36,000,000,000 (dat's lyke 100 mill a day)
Considering anti-e-pirates pull tons of speculative numbers out their a**, I guess it's tyme to pull out the Hard Numbers, Real Tyme, Tru Numbers. (Shh, don't tell me it's just as imaginary, I know it is.) You're willing to cost the ISP industry over 36 billyun dollars for ur gawddamn Justin Beeber albumz, and that's a bare minimum with ur asinine laws & ideas.
Costz "estimated" on dat page: "According to the "Wall Street Journal," Stan Liebowitz of the University of Texas at Dallas estimates the cost of video piracy to be as much as $18.5 billion in lost sales every year."
>$18.5 billion in lost sales every year
Look, ya even doubled dat rate for a year, gud jerb.
"According to the Business Software Alliance's 2011 Piracy Study, the global piracy rate is 42 percent: Almost half of the copies of software in use are pirated. Their study claims that the pirated software in use has a total value of $63.4 billion."
Exactly, how the ******** r ur ideas helping? ISPs must be enabling piracy by valuing their own a** over ur stupid claims, amirite?
