So its wrong for a company to turn off the service of someone who used said service to break the law? |

Proof of guilt must first be found. |

That's a good one. So you believe you have never infringed copyright? |

If a law was broken, then it is for a court to decide innocence or guilt - not a unilateral decision by a private corporation with no chance for a customer to defend themselves. |

No, you get arrested because the bank calls the police and has you arrested and charged with a crime. If you're guilty, then it will be found out in court, if by some chance you're not then you have a chance to defend yourself. |

It's still early in the morning. My boss at the ISPAA is still bl..., I mean having a conversation with several senators. When they're done, she'll review this article then email my talking points. |

Either way (guilty or innocent) the bank could decide not to continue doing business with you.... |

With very few exceptions a private corporation is allowed to refuse to do business with anyone for any reason. The only real exception codified into law is the prohibition against certain businesses discriminating against protected classes, i.e., a hotel that declines to do business with black people. |

Presuming a typical residential internet connection, you're internet service provides you service as part of a private transaction between you and the ISP. Them providing the service to you is contingent on their ToS and/or AUP. They are not denying you service based on, or in anyway infringing on, your guaranteed protected rights (race, gender, religion, disability, etc).
Just like a bar can refuse service to an individual dressed in gang "colors", or a night club can kick out a drunk, an ISP generally can discontinue your service if they thing you are negatively impacting their business. The ISP refusing to provide service isn't a matter of guilt or innocence. They are protecting their interests. |
