How does this stuff ever make it to court??? Why is it an ISP is
responsible for policing it's customers? I'm constantly getting
called up from scammers trying to offering me bogus warranty
insurance for cars I don't own...does that mean I can sue Verizon
because they are letting scammers use their network?
It doesn't mention anything in the article,. but I'm wondering if
the ISP received a court order to shut down the customer and ignored
it, then I can see why the ISP lost the case.
It will be interesting to see the court cases against ISP's that
don't shutdown other illegal activities once they have been notified.
abuse@ better not be a blackhole or you are putting yourself at risk
based on this.

As was pointed out very early on, you as an xSP do not enjoy common
carrier status from the FCC like an ILEC would receive, now whether
that is right or wrong is another matter of debate....
