 Stephen, I'm actually more concerned with the distinction between the two situations (ie when a private party strips the right to internet access and opposed to when a court does so). I think that there are situations in which internet access might arguably be stripped but that these circumstances should always be determined by a court.

In that case, why do you think a court is such an amazing safeguard? The RIAA did a great job of proving that private actions for copyright infringement can work grave injustices. Furthermore, suing the most harmless end user infringers can be a profit maximizing strategy. See, Matthew Sag, Piracy: Twelve Year-Olds, Grandmothers, And Other Good Targets For the Recording Industry’s File Sharing Litigation, 4 NW. J. TECH. & INTELL. PROP. 133, 147, 154-55 (2006).
