Out of concern for other users I schedule my torrents to run outside of the peak evening slot. ie off at 4.00 pm, on at 12.00 midnight. Weekends I treat differently. If other torrent users could do the same then everyone except copyright holders would be happy.

I think most would be more forgiving if it was a blacklist rather than whitelist policy so unidentified traffic unthrottled or at least treated in high enough regard so it doesnt break mainstream apps. Yes the ISP wouldnt be saving so much in bandwidth costs but they would still be saving something.
According to sandevine whilst p2p remains a majority of upload traffic it is now a minority of download traffic.
