I just think the TOS is only good between the ISP and the end user.
paramount doesn't make the TOS, and TOS is not LAW, it's simply a service agreement so the ISP isn't responsible for your misuse. That way they can be like "i told them so!"
In short, IF IN REALITY someone else used your connection to download a movie, the most you're in trouble for is violating your TOS. You didn't commit a crime.
In the same breath, paramount might want to milk you for negligence or being party to assisting an illegal act, but thats hardly the same as being convicted of copyright infringement or software piracy
