I think pirating from smaller ISPs is advantageous. Simply because a lot of the staff could not be as tech savvy to understand what you're downloading.

Big ISPs, it's a little harder but challenging and possible, because they know what to expect.

What are you pirating from your internet service provider? Or does ISP stand for something else I'm not aware off?

I'm assuming he means pirating while using the service of a large or small ISP

Yeah, sometimes the pedants of Lemmy get a bit grating (I'm guilty of it myself). Most people were able to understand that OP was asking whether smaller or larger internet service providers are easier to use for piracy without detection. Most who didn't get that context scrolled past.

That being said... OP's replies are hilarious LMFAO wtf is that shit

To be fair, "from" is not grammatically incorrect here, it just sounds weird to a native speaker.

If you read "from" as in "I come from Georgia," rather than as, "I got peaches from Georgia," then it makes sense.

Think of it as saying like, "would it be better to fly to Europe from a small airport, or a large airport?"
