So there you have it. It would likely never happen because porn is protected free speech and there have been cases ruled on by the supreme court allowing it to be online. however, since it is a community standard kind of thing that doesn't mean that there can't be individual cases where people are breaking the law and banned from selling porn online. Still, that is not a violation of their human rights.
a law that would make porn illegal on the internet would never happen because porn is free speech

but all 99.5% (everything but the 3 infringing acts) of the speech that the convicted pirate makes is not free speech

seriously do you know how stupid you sound when you say shit like that.

With my question I wonder: If a person is afforded a fair trial, legal defense and a jury like any other crime and they are found guilty of copyright violation multiple times (at least three). Do you think it is fair that their access to the internet is taken away? If not, how many online crimes do they need to commit before they are denied access?
what exactly about this statement did you not understand

without such a balance, copyright holders can abuse the law with repeated bogus complaints, force people to spend ungodly time effort and money defending themselves against all the bogus complaints.
