On the other hand, an ISP that *is* aware of illegal activity would be negligent not to look into it.

How about the tier1's who route abuse@ to /dev/null? IMHO they are negligent and should be held liable...

I completely agree. Of course, they may be relying on the fact that they don't do anything outside of the scope of being a common carrier, so they shouldn't be held liable, despite the fact that they go against the agreed upon common good (i.e. abuse@ being manned).
