Actually, I just looked up, it's illegal to gain access mac address in all situations, plus you can change your mac address too

They can ask your ISP, which they wouldn't do but it was just a better solution than IP ban.

Isn't it controlled by your ISP therefore only they can change it?

Every Ethernet card has a MAC address burned-in at the factory, and you can change it.
Macshift is a free utility that you can use to spoof your MAC address under Microsoft Windows.

Tbh, i dont think they would go through all that trouble asking for the ISP or MAC whatever that is... I think they would just send you to botjail and if you want to be let out, you pay whichi means $ for TQ
