They own that traffic. But when an ISP restricts internet traffic they are clearly in violation of FCC rules as well as moral and ethical standards of fairness. The fact that their subscribers "may be in violation" is not their decision to make. They cannot make arrests, they cannot hand down judicial rulings, they are an ISP. Yes they should be fined.
