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:

ISP blocking content starts with illegal stuff, but then they have powers to block content that the ISP deems unacceptable. I wish people would understand that invasion of privacy doesn't just affect criminal behaviour.
