Parents should be responsible to get their house in order once they have been notified that there is a problem.

Parents are only responsible to a reasonable extent. Responsibility isn't even the focal point of the matter. It's the punishment that's the issue. You can hold a parent responsible for their kids' act of piracy, but you cannot involve them in the punishment that is meted out to the kids. Cutting off internet access for the house punishes the entire family. If your kid pinches a couple of CDs from the shop and sells them on the street, a judge wouldn't hand out punishment to the entire family as a unit.
