Is there a condition in the T&C's giving these ISPs permission to intercept and modify users network traffic?

And even if there is... is it valid? I don't know much about US laws, but e.g. in Germany there is a high probability that such an unexpected condition would be invalid. High probability =In court and on the high seas, a man's fate lies in god's hands.

Not legally, not in the UK:

New s. 296ZG of the 1988 Act created new rights in respect of electronic rights management information metadata. The right is infringed by:

the person who knowingly removes electronic copyright management information which is associated with a copy of a copyright work, or appears in connection with the communication to the public of a copyright work;
the person who knowingly distributes or communicates to the public copies of a work from which electronic rights management information has been removed.

What does the DMCA have to say about such matters?
