OK. So now Excite@Home has decided to be responsible for the content that you, the user are transferring over their hardware. Well, make them fully responsible. If you catch your 13 year old child downloading a copyrighted porn video, surely Excite@Home with their monitoring should have caught that fact and stopped him from this illegal act. Does this mean that since they are monitoring content over their servers, any content that does slip by can be used as a case to sue Excite@Home themselves? Most ISPS (at least American ones) indemnify themselves from this sort of prosecution by not monitoring the content which goes across their network. They are not responsible for said content.
If Excite@Home deigns to take on the responsibility for your content instead of washing their hands of it as other ISPs do, let them take full responsibility. They should lose the immunity that other ISPs have from what their users are doing/downloading/posting/viewing/etc..
