There might be a knock-on effect to Usenet, since ISP's might be more pro-active towards complaints against uploaders but directly this will probably only affect public P2P where your ip is visible to all downloaders, Gnutella which includes Limewire and Bearshare probably being the most prolific at the moment. If you see those installed on your kids computer and you get a letter then you know why.
