Never will happen, becuase once you start trying to enforce things like that, it becomes a legal liability when you miss things, and people get through. However if you agree that you can't be held responsible for what passes through your network, then you can't be held liable for it. It's the same trick the telephone company uses to avoid being held liable for people calling their bookies or making drug deals or whatever. Or that keeps UPS and Fedex safe from lawsuit when someone ships 10 pounds of Cocaine in a UPS box.
However, just like the telephone company, an ISP will almost surely start coughing up records if someone comes to them with proper court documents.
Do a search for "common carrier" if you want to learn more about the subject.
But don't fret over this, the ISPs have far too much to lose by trying to enforce things like this. They won't even do it for Kiddie porn, let alone gambling.

I read at MW site that PayPal (after 9/28/04) will be fining their customers as well as the merchants up to $500. per violation for using their card in the use of gambling and Porn.
If they can do that--I would think it would be quite Easy for the Government to tell ISP's to block all Internet Gambling sites or face fines!
Don't say it CAN"T happen!
