CCI is happy because

p2p piracy has not gotten much worse. if not for 6-strikes technically ignorant cord cutters might have used more p2p to get their content, rather than circumventing all those headaches and buying a roku/hulu/netflix type alternative to cabletv.
CCI probably realizes that going after technically saavy users that have escaped 6-strikes detection on VPNs is futile, since it will only result in a protracted software arms race as each side develops better detection and evasion methodology.
it would not surprise me that as more players enter the smartTV type market of isp based content streaming, and prices invariably come down on such paid services as that audience grows, then p2p activity may actually show a marked decrease.
