You could meet a friend who has a laptop somewhere that has wifi and you can watch as they use it and connect to whatever you need connecting to. There are still ways for you to get access, they are just no longer convenient.
no you can't all those actions would represent an actionable violation of the law

the isp would still be granting a suspended user access to the internet

that represents 10K + in fines if the copyright holder complains.

it would be a pretty useless blacklist if i could simple use the internet access of another legal entity (acting as a proxy)

i could just register a business for $35 and repeat forever.

If having internet access is a basic human right then why doesn't everyone have it? There are tens of millions world wide that don't have internet access. If suddenly you are such an advocate for human rights maybe you should do something about getting them access and worry less about who is downloading stuff from torrent sites.
there is a huge difference between being entitled to something with no cost
and being protected from having that right taken way from you when your willing to pay for it

the blacklisting laws are the latter

that all the rights i care for people to have, i have never said anyone is entitled to internet at no cost

and trying to argue that you should be allowed to TAKE AWAY THE RIGHT just because i don't want to give it to everyone for free is an absolutely insane position to take

you can't be that stupid, so i assume that just a deliberate straw man arguement because your arguement is that weak.
