I have read:

Pornographic Industry (BPI), the body which represents record companies in the UK."
Yeah I guess the psychological way of doing it can do something, people will not move to other providers as far as it's too much hassle but lots of them will simply ignore it.
There would be another way of doing it:
You download pirated stuff your line gets slowed down big time because of violating the terms of use, this would of course have to be UNIVERSAL so no ISP competition would take advantage of the migrating downloaders.
And here we go again..
