If it's between allowing millions of people to continue to freeload and dismantle the recording, movie and adult industries. Or letting my isp decide if what I'm doing is legal or not, yes I'm willing to trust them.
It's a pretty black or white decision for them. They can see what you're downloading and where it's coming from, it should be pretty easy.
I'm open to better suggestions on how to handle the issue though...
