It's a very slippery slope, though, isn't it? Hasn't their line of defense always been "sorry, we're only the carrier"? If they do stoop down to "traffic inspections", however voluntary they may be for the time being, aren't they opening themselves up for all kinds of problems in the future? I mean, why stop with IP infringement? What about kiddie (and otherwise forbidden or morally objectionable) pron, illegal gambling, drug trafficking, ... you name it.
