Comment

Belgian Bananas !

There is a big difference between policing wat is stored on an ISPs servers and policing what is passed over the network.

To start with, if my ISP decides to snoop on my traffic and block some of it then they would themselves be committing criminal offences I believe ! Secondly, if the traffic is encrypted then it's impossible for them to see what it is anyway - that's why all the P2P packages now support encryption !

And before anyone chirps up that I much be acting illegally to make such a comment - I do use P2P but only for legal purposes such as downloading the latest Linux installers etc.
