Not really comparable.

Speaking from a US point of view, ISPs has strong legal protections 
isolating them from culpability for the actions of their customers. I 
know internationally things are different, but here in the US the ISP 
doesn't get dinged, except in certain cases where they are legally 
required to remove access to material and don't.

End users have no such protections that I'm aware of that cover them 
similarly.
