Well, it goes to show something needs to be done with pirating over P2P programs. Lately, the explosion of obviously copyrighted movies, music and software has the industry clammoring for ideas.
I have heard copyright holders are starting to prosecute individual users pirating, and heard some litigation was on the way. While I applaud the effort, it's like trying to stop a train by standing on the track holding up your hand palm up. It will be interesting to see what comes with all of this.
That's a good idea, and I hope more ISP's follow the lead. While I do not condone piracy, I do not condone people snooping in other peoples' property without consent. In the name of "protecting rights," the industry, gov't and other officials are policing everything, even thoughts. I am very angry about that, and am very saddened the things our country worked so hard for (and so many people died for) are going in the name of greed.
Either way, I am staying out of it by not using P2P
