In court they may be questioned what they have done to stop illegal file sharing.
Yes ISPs are aware that people are illegally downloading, but they are not required to snoop on what people are doing. Do you think mobile phone companies should snoop on their customers as well? As I am know mobile phones are used for various crimes (eg drug deals).

The problem here as pointed out is Karoo are only acting in this way because they have a restricted market - there is no competition for highspeed Internet in Hull. I would also guess that the reason Karoo is doing this is to try and reduce the amount of traffic on their network (and therefore save money) rather than for legal reasons.
