And wouldn't simply using encrypted transport or at worst encrypting the file easily circumvent this?

Doesn't seem useful at all to prevent piracy.
nope!
the isp will just throttle all encrypted packets.
in the end the little guy loses[as always]
Sure, go ahead. That means you eliminate all subscribers that need to telecommute. These days, that's a non-trivial amount of people in major markets.

That also eliminates online commerce. Go ahead and throttle that.

Foot. Gun. Fun!

Or we just start shaping our own packets to look like legit unencrypted data and the throttling is thwarted again.

This cat and mouse crap has to stop. The internet is a global resurce and we need to stop messing with it.

The problem with any "anti-" technology is that it's always going to be purely reactive. You're never going to have a definitive method of stopping something (maybe short of exterminating humanity). The moment you slow or stop something, people will come up with a workaround. Hell, that was the fundamental premise upon which the Internet's progenitor was designed upon.
