Nobody is claiming that Frontier should be monitoring traffic.

Safe harbor provisions require them to forward DMCA letters to subscribers when rightsholders send them, and suspend service to repeat violators.

A subscriber who has received 44 DMCA letters without Frontier suspending their service is evidence that Frontier is not abiding by their safe harbor obligations.

The rightsholders want the identity of a person willing to make such a claim, so that person can be compelled to testify that they weren't lying their ass off when they made that claim.
