Sadly this won't fix the piracy problem. Like many previous news articles here on this site that people have commented, it will increase the use of encryption.
Encryption won't protect you from DMCA letters. The letters are sent after an IP address was identified in a torrent swarm. It has nothing to do with the transfer of the file itself. For obvious reasons, it isn't possible to hide an IP address in a torrent swarm (proxies notwithstanding). |

| Using torrent in it self is not illegal. So DMCA is baseless unless they can figure out what you're downloading. Lets not forget newsgroups, they been around for long time and will continue to be and they are not tracked. |

For obvious reasons, it isn't possible to hide an IP address in a torrent swarm (proxies notwithstanding). I forgot to add that in. It won't necessarily hide you but going by some past posts about this topic it seems people believe it will. I wouldn't know, I'm not a P2P user (neither legal or illegal). Have no reason. |

Ummm.. the Music/Picture industry is out there grabbing content FROM people and I'm pretty sure when the content gets to its destination, they can pretty much figure out what was being shared.
It's the sharing, not the taking, that they typically go after. |

That's like saying: "You were in the same city where a bank robbery occurred, so we're assuming you to be a suspect". |
