How are ISPs the part of equation?

I mean, they would probably not okay with torrents and youtube, but it's not like anybody asked them for consent. They have to sell a service to clients, and clients want torrents and youtube and spotify, so they either deliver or get off market.

Of course, in areas where ISPs are either state-controlled or monopolistic, situation might be different. In this case, pity to the people stuck with monopolist.
