Re: Alas, the tracking is coming Dave:
The BBC's report is less than clear, but I didn't read the article as implying that monitoring was technically impossible, but only technically hard/problematic - given the context/framework in which the monitoring occurs.
That is, as I understand it, it's virtually impossible for the monitoring device/software to distinguish between *legal* P2P file sharing ('fair use' academic uses of media; sampling, etc.) and P2P sharing of pirated material. The inability of the monitoring device/software to make a judgment call (this here is legal file sharing; that over there is illegal file sharing) IS a technical limitation.
