This may is landmark decision in the US, but "contributing to copyright infringement" was levied at an Australian webhost a number of years ago.

At the time the webhost was actually shown to be complicit as they were advertising on the website that was linking to copyrighted protected material - their defense that they did not know, fell on deaf ears.

Similar story here, the ISP is not getting nailed for copyright infringement but in being participatory in the act of copyright infringement.
