So? They're still responsible for their own property. If I go out and
buy a firearm or automobile, fail to obtain adequate instruction in its
safe use, and subsequently create mayhem with it, will I be excused
from penalty because I didn't know what I was doing? I think not.
That being said: ISPs *could* somewhat mitigate against the clueless at
the DSL/cable modem, if they wanted to.
