Make ISPs Responsible For Copyrights and only Government will be your ISP

The latest leaked information about ACTA (Anti-counterfeiting Trade Agreement) points up the fact that making ISPs responsible for the illegal actions of their customers is still on the table.
Don't these bureaucrats understand that responsibility without authority is a lose-lose option - and giving ISPs the authority to do something about things that are illegal is opening up the world to judicial concepts that are at direct odds to our long-established rule of law.
No matter whether I or others think this is a direct attack by the publishing industry on the technological revolution, this is a direct attack on the free world's judicial system and rule of law.
Kind of makes me glad I'm a rational anarchist.
What part of making ISPs Common Carriers don't these guys understand? It's either that or the only entities who can take the responsibility and also deal with the judicial side is government - and that's going to go over really well with the private enterprise people.
