All this requires is the ISP to change their TOS. Nobody has a legal right to be granted internet access. It's a private contract between a company and an individual.
The same way nobody has a legal right to cable television. If comcast decides they don't like you as a customer, they can tell you to fuck off for whatever reason as long as the policy is consistent among all customers. Suspected file shareres are not a protected group like race, religion, or sexual orientation.

but all i need to do to accuse you of discrimination is that i have to be a visible minority
eharmony didn't deny services to gay and lesbians because of a bias they did it purely on a financial basis. If they just used the same 29 points of compatibility that worked for straight people it would not work for a complete different demographic.
if you dumped my account for one of your "reasons" the first thing i would claim is that you did it because of my ethnicity and you were just using that reason as cover
and i would be perfectly within my right to do so
oh and BTW the UN just ruled that disconnecting a person from the internet is a violation of human rights so your argument doesn't have anywhere close to the merits you think it does.
