ISPs represent deep pockets with high risk profiles. They will jump at the chance to put due diligence standards in place to appease the RIAA.
I'd suspect this point could be argued, at least from where I stand being part of a pure ISP perspective. The ISPs that are to gain here are mostly ISPs who are also content providers or Media Providers. Those who are true-blue ISPs who are there to simply be an Onramp are only going to want to step in and get involved when the law says to do so, otherwise being transparent is healthy for both ISP and client.

This problem really seems to be more about the Telco/Cableco companies who are trying to leverage their ISP presence to serve and gain from their Media/Content presence.

...just guessing of course!

You sir, have guessed... wisely.
