The ISP's were not "taken to court" in the sense of being accused of having done anything wrong. What's happened here is a legal process that's been established to allow a rights holder to request that a specific web site be blocked, in cases where the site itself is outside the jurisdiction of the court, and the site has a proven record of infringing the right holder's intellectual property rights. A separate legal application is required for each site for which a blocking order is requested - this isn't any kind of a blanket process.
