Comment

Aren't we slightly missing the point.

ISP's may well NOW be able to discriminate between P2P traffic and other traffic, maybe they can discriminate between legal and illegal P2P activity, although I wouldn't know how.

But I'm sure that if such barriers were put in place to block the traffic, it would not take the community long to devise a protocol which did not get blocked.

This looks to me like another ill-advised security arms race, that the white hats can't win. A bit like ID cards really.
