Right, they care about customers actually using the bandwidth they were sold.

This nexus of common interest between the music industry and ISPs is a dangerous one, and it seems the ISPs have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

A revenue stream for ISPs, but no help, and an endless task for the music industry.

My first job was in the defense industry, we engineered ECM (Electronic Counter Measures) gear for the military. For every ECM the Russians would implement a Counter ECM, when it was "fixed" another would pop up! Oh.... the employment bonanza of the cold war years Point being, spend all this effort to stop current P2P use, and it will evolve into a better more private system, ultimately undetectable, and unstoppable.

The more pressure put on P2P, the better it will get.

No doubt they (marketing dept.) oversold their(network operations) capacity.
It's a situation where they need the income to increase the network, and the high demand is driving them to do so, but demand rises faster than the physical network buildout can occur.
The desire for higher speed drives their business (otherwise we'd all still be on dialup)
for some there will never be fast enough speeds, and the need to "manage" consumption will always be needed.
P@P will never reach the point of ultimately undetectable, and unstoppable.
The fact that there are 28 or more commerial entities competing to detect/block P2P shows how much money is available to the business end. can the P2P crowd afford to continue their side of the "war" with the few (so far) legitimate business oppertunities (ie income producing) for P2P apps?
As you point out the cold war became largely about money and ended mostly due to bankruptcy of the soviet bloc.

BTW nice boat
