If your problem is people breaking the law, then let the law deal with it.

If p2p was to vanish there would be far less chance of congestion. With todays technology and pricing there is bound to be situations where congestion occurs. Statistical diversity allows contention to work and give us our connections at a reasonable price but 24/7 maxing out of a connection does not give that diversity. You could have a situation where there are a couple of hundred very light users on a card but there is always a chance that at any particular moment they all want to do something that uses most of their bandwidth at the same time. We are using a contented service that is priced because it is so and therefore we must expect there to be congestion at times.
Do you not agree that the download of copyright material without the copyright holders permission is illegal. Yes or no?
Do you condone people breaking the law. Yes or no?
Do you think that someone who is performing illegal activities on their connections and activities that are not allowed under the terms and conditions of the service provider should be allowed to affect the service of others. Yes or no?
What is your solution to service levels being degraded?
