The little known law they quote is actually very well known if you are an ISP / carrier. But the law is not a legal mandatory filter requirement - just a requirement that you "reasonably provide assistance when asked" It just happened that most of the ISP's when asked in this case decided to comply, but importantly not all complied.

Well, what exactly legal obligations does that requirement impose on the ISP? If they're allowed to refuse any request, then the law wouldn't be needed in the first place - government agencies can certainly send whatever non-enforceable requests they like without needing a specific law to let them do so.
