Because its the same warped logic that justifies copying web site content without a licence, processing it, and flogging the result to advertisers.
And the same warped logic that justifies intercepting a private point to point data communication between a web site and a visitor without consent of

Its probably illegal. It was probably illegal in
2006. And it was probably illegal in
2007. And so its doubtless the reason why a dossier of complaints has been handed to the City of London Police.
ISPs need to strike a reasonable balance between pricing and product investment. Ultimately, if customers refuse to pay the price of the infrastructure they use, and ISPs see no case for investing, the answer is simple.
Either there isn't a market for that product, or someone with a better product will prevail.
