There is a difference between an ISP and a web host. A corporation that hosts web sites by providing accounts, server space, etc. etc. to them should be liable for knowingly hosting an illegal site, just as a landlord should be liable for knowingly letting a crack dealer operate on his property.
Howwever, if all they are doing is providing cables, dial up numbers and servers that allow people to access the internet, they should be no more liable for what their customers do on the internet than the phone company should be liable
for the crack dealer who uses his phone to
make delivery appointments.
