To me this is simple.

Zubr you are totally responisble for what is on your site, as Cogent are responsible for what is on their bandwidth.

You cannot set up an "arena" that is beyond you to control and monitor. Then when someone inside it, breaks the law you turn around and say "I did try but could not do anything to stop it"

If you ran a club where people are selling drugs you're liable for prosecution.

It seems you have set up a free host (arena) that is beyond your control in an effort to make money. When the BW provider (landlord) says no, you complain.

I think their trust level of you is reflected in the size of fine they set. They were too polite to say F OFF they said $50K instead but it meant the same.
