I found this little read to be interesting:

Unfortunately they usually require payment or restrict what you can get.

What I'm perhaps more interested is what ISPs can actually do to block/detect such activity:

• Look into unencrypted torrents? - BT encryption is an easy workaround
  
• Detect you visiting torrent tracker websites such as TPB?  Technically doesn't constitute piracy since you can visit a site without actually downloading, but I wouldn't be surprised if they simply don't care.  Bypass would be through any open proxy / Tor.
  
• Monitor tracker activity?  This seems somewhat pointless, as it's basically the same as what law enforcement is doing already.  I believe the idea of this deal is to push the cost of this enforcement onto the ISP, but I really can't see an ISP taking such an initiative in doing this (exception is those which have principle interest in the film/recording industry)
  
• Or maybe they decide to target DDL websites instead of torrents?  This is perhaps the only feasible thing with a relatively reasonable success rate that I can think of.  But, historically at least, DDL hasn't gone into the spotlight as much as BT.  But perhaps with MU taken down, this has changed?
  

That's all I can really think of...
