What Kim Dotcom and MegaUpload purposefully and willfully schemed to accomplish is in no way comparable to to ISPs. And saying as such is anything but childish.

Users were paid for having files that were frequently downloaded. Some of those users were hit with repeated DMCA takedowns. What do you think happens to a repeat offender on DMCA? Do they get their account shutdown? Nope! They get rewarded with a bigger stash to upload more files.

MegaUpload had many identical files uploaded by many different users. These files were stored as a single file on the server. With each uploader having a unique link to that file. DMCA takedown requests would come in for many of those links. Which MegaUpload would do. However they would leave the file online and in tact with hundreds of other links to the same known to be infringing file. Which makes it effectively impossible to have anything removed.

Read the e-mails. They're beyond damning.
