Not really comparable.

Speaking from a US point of view, ISPs has strong legal protections  
isolating them from culpability for the actions of their customers. I know 
internationally things are different, but here in the US the ISP doesn't 
get dinged, except in certain cases where they are legally required to 
remove access to material and don't.

End users have no such protections that I'm aware of that cover them  
similarly.
