What this clearly means, is your ISP should pay for a secure service and protect the customer, which is included in the fee to said customer. i.e. We, the end-users, should never have to pay for anti-viral software, subscriptions to parental controls, or any other 3rd party protection, while being provided a secure public utility by an ISP.

In a nutshell, ISP's claims, demand they pay for Norton, not you and I.

This translates to, The very same ISP, should be protecting all sides, including the copyright holder and if necessary, the ISP should also provide insurances.

Further translation: Higher bill from your ISP.

My ISP sent me about ten emails saying how wonderful they are for adding a spam filter to their email system but it's so crap hardly anyone uses it
