Unenforceable: A desparate record industry

So now it's an ISP's duty to spy on its own customers on behalf of the music industry!
There really are no limits for these people, esentially they're asking ISPs to; invest in technology and resources to inspect every packet of every download, then cut off and blacklist every culprit they find, all in the name of protecting the record industry's business?
What about the ISP's business? for each person they cut off, they loose a paying customer, for each person blacklisted, another ISP looses a potential customer..

It will be interesting to see whether ISP's will actually voluntarily alianate their own customers. If i were an ISP, i'd frankly tell the record industry to do their own job.
If they've failed in their efforts to clamp down on illegal file hosting (and that is an easier task), what are the chances that ISP will succeed in this un-insentivised effort?
