I think you are missing the point here. The Copyright Alert System is solely concerned with bittorrent peers, and, as I was able to get clarified via a question during the conference, only to seeders and not to leechers.

The actual monitoring will be done by Mark Monitor on behalf of the content companies. If they successfully leech identifiable content from a seed, then that seed's IP address will be passed to the ISP for CAS processing at the appropriate alert level.

The ISPs will not be doing any monitoring under this system..

News Corp. Shuts Off Hulu Access To Cablevision 316

ideonexus writes "Normally when we advocate Net Neutrality, we are talking about preventing ISPs from discriminating against content providers, but in this case, the content provider is discriminating against the ISP. Is this a new dimension in the Net Neutrality fight? From the article: 'Cablevision internet customers lost access to Fox.com and Fox programming on Hulu for a time Saturday afternoon — the result of a misguided effort on News Corp.'s part to cut off online viewing as an alternative in its standoff with the cable operator over retrans fees. Fox stations in NYC, Philadelphia, and New Jersey went dark at midnight Friday when negotiations between the two broke down.'"
