Anyone...
everyone... should consider it their duty as a citizen to uphold the law. Even if that only means dialing 911 when they see someone else being hurt.
No business is above the law, and if they can take steps where they have influence to cut back on illegal activities, there's no reason why they shouldn't.
I wasn't suggesting the ISPs would become the arm of the Justice Department... just that they should be willing to mitigate illegal activities that take place on their networks, and to alert authorities to activities they are aware of.
(Cue "Big Brother" responses now.)
