Gideon, I think you are losing touch with reality. You are trying to bring in all these unrelated circumstances and weave some sort of truth or precedent from it. It's like when a student doesn't know the answer to an essay question and he bluffs his way through it by making a bunch of vague references to different things which are mostly true, but the overall answer is just a rambling mess. Trust me, I use to do this all the time in school so I'm very familiar with the technique.
I applaud your effort, but this particular cloth you've woven from unrelated cases just has no place in how the real world actually works. You might be able to score some points in a debate club with these arguments, but in the real world they won't have any impact.
Unlike most people on GFY, I actually think you're probably a decent guy and your heart is the right place. But on this one you are trying to frame the issue as some sort of legal or civil rights issue, when that's just not the case.
This is a free market issue. If an ISP starts dropping subscribers and word gets out and people don't like it, then those customers will move to an ISP that doesn't do it. Or one ISP will drop out of the agreement and mop up all the angry subscribers. The free market will take care of this issue if it's truly as bad as you say it is.
