In fact, IIRC, common-carrier status for ISPs as I describe above was actually implemented in the DMCA. Been a while since I looked at it; will have to check. It doesn't appear to have stopped anybody from getting sued for third parties infringing on copyrights, though.

Implemented. Curious. The DMCA may have acknowledged that ISPs have immunity, being mere conduits, but the courts (sh|w)ould have decided that anyway.
