Ah, if only there was a way for my SP to go and look all over the web and figure out what pages are acceptable for me to browse and block out all of the other stuff like porn and warez and phishing --- and other objectionable content like creationism / evolution [delete whichever is appropriate ], those bastard [insert your least favorite ethnic / religious group here ] and any mention of [insert political party]..... Oh, and anything to do with clowns, they freak me out...
Yes, P2P is not the web, but the general principle still applies -- I don't think that handing over the censorship keys to my ISP is a reasonable solution...
