If we were talking about cars, motorcycles, or lawnmowers, would you be making the same argument?

Why should I be legally obligated to "disturb the peace" for a mile around when using my range?

Or am I supposed to get all my neighbors within a mile to wear ear plugs?

27 years, actually. Specifically, since October 12th, 1998.

I have been looking for a US ISP with the balls to ignore their obligations under the DMCA since the DMCA was implemented.

If the number is excessively multitudinous, feel free to leave out any dial up providers you used back in the late 90s/early 2000s. You can also leave out any ISP that has since merged into another, or gone out of business.

For me, that would leave five names in 27 years, none of which would be a surprise, and all of which issue DMCA letters.

I would love to hear about even one of the many unicorns you've engaged over the past quarter century.

These stupid sovcit fuckwits and their "not for commerce" plates...

What they should be doing is conveying the vehicle to the nearest navigable waterway, and putting it on the boat launch ramp, allowing it to touch the water.

Now, it is no longer a land vehicle at all. It is a self-portaging, sea-going vessel. So long as you convey it regularly (monthly) between sea ports (boat ramps), it is now a boat, not a car. Land-based police have no jurisdiction over it, and it is no longer restricted to noncommercial use only.

Yes, and no.

Rent is usually an annual contract, with penalties for early termination, and is subject to hikes each and every year.

Land contracts are a purchase agreement that can be canceled unilaterally by the buyer in the first three years. Land contracts have a fixed payment for the life of the contract: "rent control" is incorporated into them directly.

But, you're missing the underlying reason why we are talking about land contracts at all. The underlying factor is a massive hike in property taxes, which is only effectively implemented against corporate investors. We are establishing an owner-occupant exemption that will effectively lower property taxes for owner occupants, but will not be available to corporate landlords.

The underlying objective is to drive these corporate parasites out of the housing market. The only reason we are talking about land contracts at all is to assure you that the needs of tenants are not being ignored as we destroy these corporate parasites. (It also has a secondary effect of giving borrowers some leverage over lenders. While the lender is negotiating to keep the borrower in their home, the owner-occupant exemption is in place. As soon as they begin foreclosure proceedings, the property tax rate skyrockets.)

For the short-term tenant, yes, it is just rent by another name.

For the long-term tenant, it is an effective route to home ownership.

For the corporate landlord, it is the first stage of being choked out of the residential property market.

For the small-time landlord, it is a transition to "private lender".

For the on-site landlord, in one unit of a duplex, triplex, or quadplex, it is a competitive advantage on actual rent.

I read your entire comment. What I didn't read is any information on how I can duplicate your experience. I'd like to subscribe to one of these ISPs, if they are available in my area. Is there a reason I can't know who is providing this superior service?

I would appreciate any advice you might have on a provider who isn't a scum-sucking sycophant of the copyright industry. I assure you, your experience is the exception, not the rule.

Found the LLM.

Those letters originate from the rights holders, who have leechers in the swarm, verifying that you are actively uploading data to them. Your ISP doesnt care if you torrent, or who you torrent to. They wont originate a letter unless a rightsholder requires them to.

The rightsholder has your IP address, and the name of the file you sent them. Data for those files was sent to their leechers by your IP address, perhaps not by you, but by some machine operating on your network, or through it.

It is possible that the letter to your ISP included a list of both IP addresses belonging to several of their customers, and filenames sent from all of those customers. It is possible that the ISP sent out letters to each of the individual subscribers, and just attached the full list of files from the original complaint.

How about a North/South Korea, and an East/West Korea? All four quadrants meet at Panmunjom. You can cross on the diagonal, but never a row or column.

edit: wouldn't land contracts required idiotic amounts of identification as opposed to renting which requires none?

No. It's an agreement between two parties. They require no more identification than any other agreement between two parties.

Technically, the agreement should be registered with the county as it affects the deed of the property, but that isn't strictly necessary for the first three years.
