Remember in the United States you have a copyright for every new expression you utter at the moment of fixing in a medium -- no registration is required. If everyone would complain official to their ISP when someone else violates any of their copyrighted expressions, you would soon see the ISPs not enforcing this idiotic agreement. Remember 'fair use" is an affirmative defense, so even if the copyrighted expression seems de minimus, that is not for the the copyright holder or the ISP to decide.
