    Thats not a good comparison, guns are designed to kill (whether good or bad, legal or illegal)

    ISPs or internet has quite a lot of other uses than piracy.

    Your intent is right, but the example is wrong…

      Nah, it’s a great example, for exactly the reason you said.

      The argument for holding gun manufacturers liable is BETTER than the argument for ISPs, so if it doesn’t work for gun manufacturers, it DEFINITELY doesn’t work for ISPs.
