Re: I would like to block P2P file sharing
One problem with blanket banning p2p would be the loss of skype and similar legal systems

Quote:
The main difference between Skype and standard VoIP clients is that Skype operates on a peer-to-peer model (originally based on the Kazaa software[54]), rather than the more usual client-server model.
Taken from wiki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skype#System_and_software

It is worth remembering that NOT all p2p is illegal and some can be very useful. I believe Linux is distributed in a similar way
