The size of the operation involved says that these 2 companies looked the other way while all these illegal operations were going on. If this isn't a reason to hold carriers responsible for the actions of their customers, I don't know what is. The law holding ISPs free from responsibility needs to be changed.
Absolutely disagree. Carriers should not be responsible for the actions of their customers if they in good faith did not notice the abuse.
If they were notified of abuse and didn't act on it, that's another story and they should be investigated. However ISPs (and other forms of carriers) have no way to control what their users do - and they shouldn't anyway! -- Nitzan Kon, CEO Future Nine Corporation

Well what is abuse? What do you do when there is activity that is illegal in your jurisdiction coming from Russia or Romania? Disconnect Russia or Romania's internet connection?
