Well currently they are not being held accountable for piracy but some law makers who want nothing more than to destroy freedom of speech have submitted legislation to make them accountable. The reason that due to the fact that all of the data their customers have incoming and outgoing flow through the ISP's networks, then why not make it legal, in fact mandatory for your ISP to look over your shoulder and report what they believe are violations of the copyright laws - thereby completely and utterly destroying ones' right to privacy and not to mention the opportunity for illegal privacy invasions by nefarious pedophiles, identity thieves, unwarranted police surveillance to occur with little to no way of knowing.
