How do you not see the ISPs as just as complicit in this issue?

The same reason that I can't call the road an accomplice to the get-away driver.

It's there, it isn't assisting in some active way. It was built for the purposes of getting things from Point A to Point B. It wasn't build to assist in theft.

But you can if you call the DragonBox an accomplice. The road is actively paving the way to escape (pun intended) just like DragonBox paves the way for both good, and bad, things.

No the road is the ISP, literally has no means of stopping a car from driving down it. The police would have to stop that vehicle from traveling.

really, the ISP has no ability to stop packets from traveling to the internet? Let's think about that one again.

In an open internet, yes the ISP has no control. The police would have to stop the cars (aka you're wrong here).

Okay, here.

Stealing guns and selling them is illegal. Providing a channel on which to sell illegal weapons (stolen weapons) is also illegal.
