It feels dirty to agree with an ISP on something. But even the worst corporations are on the right side of something from time to time I suppose.

We all know implicitly that it’s not illegal to share your water because it’s unethical. It is illegal because making it illegal protects the water company’s profits, humanity be damned.

it's perfectly ethical, unless i'm stealing the water, they're using the same water i'm using and that means i'm paying for it. It's literally not a problem.

It might cut flat charges but, get fucked.

I think you misinterpreted, because you two are saying the same thing. It is ethical to share. Therefore, it has not been made illegal for being unethical (because it is ethical), it has been made illegal to protect profits.
