I think this is good, right? Feels like the first time the supreme court has done something I agree with in a while...

Intent meaning they're not an ISP that caters to piracy

E.g. you start an ISP called Pirate Connections, advertise that you cater to piracy and have specific piracy friendly features (optimized for torrents, gang planks, minimal logging etc) is bad

It's very good, but it's also one of those things where they did the right things (essentially preventing forcing an ISP to be a enforcer of sorts) for the wrong reasons (Cox had more money)
