I take issue with the premise that the only course of action that ISPs 
have is to disconnect customers that generate these complaints.  I know 
that some ISPs simply pass on the complaints to their customers with the 
expectation that the customer fix the problem.  It seems to me that this 
is all the ISP is required to do (see the EFF DMCA response letter for 
details).
