Exetel broadband specifically prohibits copyright infringement.

If you upload multi-media files to your Exe website, a robot will
delete them. Runs nightly. You can request that a specific file
be excluded from the robot because you own the copyright.

If you download copyrighted materials and they monitor the download,
you are given three warnings. Thence your account is immediately
terminated and you may be handed over to the authorities.

I wonder if Linkers know of other ISPs with similar terms? This
of course is different from a third party requesting your
account be banished.
