Backbone providers are not liable for the data that passes through them. In short if piratebay is doing their own routing or using non us-ip space they are the end user ISP that gets the DMCA's. providers such as sprint and such that deliver ip transit don't care nor are liable. since they can't monitor everything that goes across their network they are safe/excluded per the DMCA.. i think its section f or e?
