In this case at least the pressure (defending intellectual property) seems to be coming from private entities, right?

  Sure, abuse by the government is the exception, private enforcement with little oversight has to be normalized before.

  Exactly. In fact the government has regulated these private entities to make sure the process has some transparency because of net neutrality. The initiative is entirely private. ISPs and copyright holders are collaborating to save legal costs. Boohoo government censorship is totally inappropriate here ;)

    Remember, only government issued boots are bad. Corporate owned boots are made of much higher quality so it almost feels like a massage when they are pressed against your neck

    Pray tell who would be creating the legal cost if the isp weren't collaborating? Copyright holders just have the inherent ability to impose costs on other people, no government support required?
