I understand giving rights to investigate Internet piracy to the police, but why to ISP's? What can they do that the police can't do on their own?
Also, ISP's currently control our access to the Internet (at least until widespread worldwide WiMax adoption), they can block our access to websites they don't want us to see and censor information. Unlikely? There are known cases of it already happening:
