very quick, so make those copy changes PDQ
user's copyright, ‘commercial piracy’ and the ’safe harbor’ question.
did the UK ISPs in question, infact give up their legal protection in EU law as a mear conduit,by freely signing up and agreeing to ‘a general monitoring of the network’ in that contract for profit.

They are officially only monitoring one protocol (HTTP) and it is an automated system with no human intervention, so they may have an argument there regarding "safe harbour".
