I can't criticise p2p per se; ntl and others are to blame if they wrote their business plans without accounting for the use of this technology. However, I am deeply peeved at the thought that I might not be getting the download speed I pay for thanks to illegal exchanging of warez via p2p.

Can anyone - simply - lay out any statistics illustrating what proportion of p2p traffic is estimated to be legal?
