the entire industry being shut down from the internet because that the "only way" to stop the infringement from every happening again
is just as legitimate as saying that the "only way" to stop someone who infringes 3 times in their life from every infringing again is to take way their internet.
taking away the internet (medium of communication) should be the last resort

This thread is about individuals who are convicted of a crime losing their individual internet access. If were talking about entire industries then it would be like me saying "Joe Bob downloaded a movie illegally, got caught and got convicted. He used a torrent site to do this so we are shutting off access to all torrent sites and taking away the internet access to anyone who has ever visited a torrent site."
I have never advocated this, I simply said those who commit a crime by using the internet.
Still, I have an unanswered question. What if I use the internet to run a phishing scheme, steal people's ID's and credit card info and then use that to buy stuff that I then sell to make money? I get caught and I get convicted. Should I lose access to the internet because that is the tool which I used to commit my crimes?
