This has been discussed before, the DMCA safe harbor doesn't allow the
provider to charge the copyright holder for this.

If it’s against your AUP, make sure you have a clause in there that says you
charge per incident.
Then go ahead and charge the customer.
Sounds like if you are just going to kick them off eventually, might as well
try to keep them, but make it costly.
If they don’t pay it, then they are off.
Nothing legally wrong with it if its in your policy I think.

What do you thing about charging a fee every time that a customer gets a
DMCA takedown notice. These notices take time to track down and follow up
on. If we charged $20 every time it would make it not really worth it to
pirate that $10 movie. I would think that it should be legal, so long as we
add it to our customer agreement. Anyone ever thought about this? Right
now we pass on 5 of them and then make them find a new provider. It seems
like they would be less likely to hit 5 if they had to pay $20 for each one.
We really don't want these guys on our network anyway, so no sweat if they
just cancel. Is anyone out there charging customers a fee for these? I
know most of you just ignore them, but we like passing them on, as it lowers
our overall usage.
