Under this approach, it's acknowledged that ISPs, as intermediaries, carry such a large volume of material that they're not really in a position to monitor everything that flows over their networks. I don't know how many billions of bytes flow every day, but fundamentally, material can flow via e-mail, it can be on websites, and it can be in many other forms. ISPs just don't have the wherewithal to effectively monitor, control, and determine whether the material that may be on websites, or the material that may be flowing through their networks, is infringing or not. They're not in a position to assess the legal relationship that exists between the website operator and the actual rights holder.
