ok so this will definitely keep their users from using p2p filesharing programs

But its only p2p apps, How quick everyone forgets about newsgroups and IRC.

Newsgrounps and IRC are not p2p. it's more of leech applications.

Most people do not use those.
People never forgot, they just do not use them nearly as much as p2p apps.

Email can be used to send copyrighted materials to others, but thats not blocked. If 1,000,000 people did that then the ISP would probably end up scanning and blocking mp3 files?

ISPs should not block anything. I can see why they may wish to cap p2p but blocking is not there thing. ISPs are not cops and should not be.

Because a normal person doesn't have the knowledge nor the patience to learn. Especially when you can just download install and start getting stuff with P2P apps

Don't forget about FTP. Over half the copyrighted materials I download are from FTP sites.

Thank you for reminding me. I had totally forgotten about that route.
