In the US, ISPs are not, and never have been
viewed, as common carriers.

I recall a case involving CompuServe in which it was treated at least
partially as a common carrier, not responsible for the content of its
network.

   (1) Treatment of publisher or speaker
       No provider or user of an interactive
       computer service [read, an ISP] shall be
       treated as the publisher or speaker of
       any information provided
       by another information content provider.

How is this reconciled with the DMCA?
