That's not as misguided as it seems. Common carriers are regulated heavily, and many ISPs don't generally seek that regulation.
That is a telephone type of "common carrier." but anybody with a "common carrier status" is not going to get regulated. All it means is a hands-off approach to users postings.
Even for a death threat, I will not terminate any user, because the law is not mine to enforce. And this "copyright" shit is the same argument. SPA needs to be attacked and undermined.
The ISP cannot determine that a particular patterns of 1's and 0's constitutes a "death threat" and/or a "copyright violation". --- Dr.Dimitri Vulis KOTM Brighton Beach Boardwalk BBS, Forest Hills, N.Y.: +1-718-261-2013, 14.4Kbps
