They are not foisting the job of investigating illegal activity on to the ISP, they are simply making the ISP responsible for enforcing the, already investigated, ruling.
This is not unique, in the UK at least, shops are responsible for making sure that anyone buying tobacco is over 16 and anyone buying alcohol is over 18 (You also need to be over 18 to buy a kitchen knife in my local supermarket, but I'm not sure if that's a legal requirement or not.)
