You Cannot Use Wi-Fi for Repeated Piracy

Or Alternatively, Sony Music Bullies ISP into Cutting Your Wi-Fi

According to an article written by Chike Nwaenie | Anime Corner

"The labels first brought the lawsuit against Grande [Wiki] in 2017. Per revealed emails, Grande was frequently informed of subscribers who were regularly pirating content, and, despite having previously done so, adopted a new policy of never terminating subscribers for copyright infringement. The jury for the case sided with the music labels, and Grande appealed to the Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit in March 2023, where it again lost. Its bid to have the entire appeals court hear the case (en banc rehearing) was also denied."

The label's position calls for DMCA requiring ISPs to have policies terminating repeating infringers. Having to cite extreme cases of alleged rampant piracy by some customers:

"The labels say that they’re not interested in the odd infringement that slips through the cracks, but rampant infringement that ISPs like Grande were found to have ignored by not having a policy to prevent it. They gave examples of 40 customers that surpassed 1,000 infringements and one that passed 14,000."

Of course, disabling customers' internet would cause as Grande argued, claiming the penalty is disproportionate.

Insights

I stand by Grande's argument about said penalty would be unnecessarily harsh. What about medical devices? Children's education that uses the internet? I understand that ISP would have this policy never terminating their own customer's internet... because that's a net negative for the ISP. I find Sony becoming too big for its own good. And, what's funny is the fact that I found this article through the Anime Corner news website, assuming this has something to do with Anime piracy LOL anime fans leave and breathe piracy, that's how it got to mainstream.
