Encrypted file sharing...

I think this sort of nonsense will end once everyone catches on to the encrypted file sharing solutions that are available. With GigaTribe, for example (»www.gigatribe.com), all exchanges are encrypted, so the ISP can't tell that a user is sharing "x.mp3", the ISP will only know what software the person is using, and as we all know, software doesn't break laws - people do - but they'll have no way of knowing who's being naughty and who's being nice!

Hmm, I think that this sort of nonsense will end when copyrighted material is no longer distributed without the copyright holder's consent.

As well as the originating and destination IP addresses and some other "fun" information. The ISPs may not know the actual content passing through the encrypted tunnels, but that doesn't mean they can't throttle/block connections for the sake of "managing their networks".
