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.

Well,

a) even the labels and studios pirate stuff that isn't theirs. They don't really believe what they preach.

b) All that content they produce involves unethical treatment of the actual creators and technical staff who are under-compensated, and often lose all rights to their own creative work. and

c) regional blocks are just marketing bullshit, and is the primary thing VPNs advertise they'll circumvent for you.

Can you elaborate on point a?

Famously the music for that famous 'you wouldn't download a car' anti piracy disclaimer was stolen and used without permission from the creator.
