i'm aware of DMCA's safe-harbor provision and i've fought with colo providers over it. when you're not an ISP the size of comcast (or any decent-sized "real" ISP), you're always going to be subject to another company's AUP.
i've had an exit node shut down by a colo provider simply because they didn't want to deal with the overhead of processing the DMCA requests. they knew what tor was and they knew i wasn't the one downloading content, but they just didn't want to deal with it, so it was either turn the exit node into a relay or have my server shut off.
