It difficult to tell from the article whether UK ISPs are refusing to cooperate with lawful requests from UK police, or if UK police are trying to get ISPs to give information without proper authorization.

It's difficult to argue with the premise that "it was in the interests of ISPs to co-operate in investigations against hackers and virus writers". I can recall posts to this list bemoaning the fact that the FBI was slow or unwilling to launch cybercrime investigations not tied espionage, terrorism, or other good, old-fashioned crime.
