I think pirating from smaller ISPs is advantageous. Simply because a lot of the staff could not be as tech savvy to understand what you’re downloading.

Big ISPs, it’s a little harder but challenging and possible, because they know what to expect.

      I don’t really know what is there to get confused about. I’m going to assume that person is stupid.

        I can see it. They got caught in your use of from, which isn’t even incorrect. Via would have been a better word, but from works here just as well.

        They’re reading it as you’re talking about pirating content that is owned by (from) your ISP, not what you meant, which is talking about pirating content from behind or via or even using your ISP. I guess through would have worked, too.

        But the difference between me and them is, while I realise another word would have worked better, I understood exactly what you meant and didn’t think it was an issue. Though I admit I thought the first thing… at first. Hey, it’s early.

      Yeah, sometimes the pedants of Lemmy get a bit grating (I’m guilty of it myself). Most people were able to understand that OP was asking whether smaller or larger internet service providers are easier to use for piracy without detection. Most who didn’t get that context scrolled past.

      That being said… OP’s replies are hilarious LMFAO wtf is that shit
