You’re right about editorial control.
I am proud that as an ISP in the 90s, and then as a VDN (CDN for video) in 2000s, we successfully kept all our clients online despite countless acts of bullying including CDA and DMCA.
We even had a major satellite carrier go after our various DC real estate providers and backbone connections.
You’d be amazed how long you can keep a client online just by requiring DMCA notices to adhere to the letter of the law before complying — usually weeks!
More than enough time to give clients notice and for clients to make arrangements.
