Yup. If you can't translate thick Indian(of various flavours), Chinese (of various flavours) or Eastern European (Romanian, in my experience) accents, you're not going to communicate well with a lot of developers.

Another approach would be for the pirate bay to start using IPv6 in addition to IPv4. It is always going be cat and mouse, so we just need to make sure the mouse is more techno savvy and uses technology to its advantage.

It also proves that the Cylons were right. "All of this has been posted before, and will be posted again."

The point of all of this is so that a nurse walking into the room and seeing a blue lipped coma patient can determine things like how long has it been since the monitor whose leads fell off last recorded an accurate O2 saturation.

Which 33 countries surveyed is important, since percentages vary and also why people pirated is also important. You can't start fixing a problem until you understand the motive behind the act. For example Photoshop is probably heavily pirated amongst home users because of the $1000 price tag and they use it no more than a few days a year.

I'm a big Apple fan, but WTF Apple? Not cool.

My question is about how to deal with the ISP.

Have you tried calling their tech support line, and explaining the problem? Nowhere in the original submission does it say that this has been attempted.
