Music labels sue Charter, complain that high Internet speeds fuel piracy

Just as paved roads fuel smuggling.

Ok, so it's not specifically high speed internet (I mean it is, but that's not the argument):

* Charter charges more money for more bandwidth (duh)

* Charter is slow to respond to copyright allegations (with the standard lack of evidence or proof)

Therefore charter's business model is based on encouraging piracy. Obviously no customers are wanting a high bandwidth connection to compensate for the ludicrous amounts of bandwidth used by the advertising on media companies' streaming services.

Who even still pirates music? And why would high speeds enable piracy of tiny audio files that were easy to pirate even on an 800 kbps kbps connection.

Yeah, but you can pirate in parallel with more bandwidth. Why pirate one movie when you can pirate several dozen with a gigabit line?

It's all a matter of making it slower so they have more time to issue the copyright claim.

They forgot to point out that simply by connecting pirates to the Internet, Charter is facilitating piracy.
