i wonder how much of that p2p traffic is legal...
Don't care.
I download and I buy (and buy most of my 'big stuff' online nowadays too).
I'm far from alone.
Just try and take my net connection away (along with the many many millions like me) and see ISPs & business generally go into recession as the orders dry up and money disappears.
Anyone imagining the rest of commerce is going to ruin itself because the already hugely profitable music and film industry can't contain it's greed is insane.
They should be told in no uncertain terms to go and f*ck themselves.
They're nothing but a bunch of greedy hypocrites.
Either directly or through partners, they are happy to produce the software, media and/or hardware to enable copying and yet crying their eyes out that some people actually do.
We should end this once and for all (as some of the more civiliised European countries do) with a tiny 'tax' on all blank media to shut the greedy ba*tards up so they can f*ck off and go annoy someone else.
Worthless c*nts the lot of them.

It wouldn't shut them up. They would always want more. And when we couldn't pay more, they would want control of it, dictatorship style.
I'm in Canada and have that same tax..and it never shut them up.

If my ISP cancelled my internet connection, I would drop cable completely. I can live without TV. As for a tax, they would still think they are due more $$$, no matter what. Because every year corporations need to exceed the previous years expectations, and the bar raises each time. If they don't make it, they will always blame "piracy " and the internet. You can't win. As long as the internet exists, it will be their scapegoat and they will fight to eventually have total control through the government officials that they are paying off.

P2P traffic generates between 49 and 84 percent of the total Bandwidth usage on the Internet

These are huge numbers! That explains why a lot of major anti-P2P goups have been whining.

See to me this should not be even researched it is basically common knowledge in my book.
Knock-Knock!
Who's There?
The FBI.
^^ unlikely that this will ever happen at any of our front doors, 95% of the whole internets bandwidth, meaning there are hundreds of millions of people using p2p, roughly 8 of these people are doing it legally.
In fairness, i will be sweating if i see a Flowers By Irene van outside my house.
