I'm very sorry to read that, as an ISP, you have to comply with a
para-judicial process that puts you in charge of censorship.

I'd like to think that you'd have some margin to let these "copyright
holders" fuck-off when it comes to your mere-pipe services. But I guess
it depends on the jurisdiction you're operating under.

Providing IP services and CATV are two different things that should not
be liable one to another.

If you have any right to give them a finger, please, on behalf of our
community, give it to them. If not, please work harder on denouncing
those indecent contracts.

Best regards,
