Oh dear, do you really want Tek Savvy to be responsible for everything you do on-line?
Imagine if Bell Telephone was responsible for everything you did vial the telephone? They'd have to monitor every call, and cut off anything that sounded like it might break the law. If they didn't, they'd be an accessory to the crime.
If you wanted to discuss a peaceful protest against, for example, gang rape in India, you would have to convince the Bell censor that you wouldn't be likely to do anything illegal in a fit of emotion. If you couldn't, the censor would have to cut you off and report you to the police as possibly proposing to break a law.

How many ISPs silently rolled over?
If Voltage had 2000 IP addrersses from a small Chatham-based ISP, how many did they have from Bell and Rogers?
I don't see anyone getting a notice letter from Rogers for using bittorrent.
