It feels dirty to agree with an ISP on something. But even the worst corporations are on the right side of something from time to time I suppose.

Yeah, they don't disconnect a criminals phone service because they committed a crime and made a phone call. It makes no damned sense.

Actually, that's been done several times over the decades. As well as banning computer access. The guy caught hacking into the fbi gets his mouse and keyboard taken away.

Only happens as a matter by court order and is a limit on the person not on the corporations. Though if found out after by the court it can be ordered terminated. And you will face further punishment.
