Personally I don't see how they plan to do this short of having someone monitor customers at a one-to-one ratio (which is of course insane, even the Chinese government only employ about 300 people for internet monitoring), as the majority of p2p/torrent apps feature protocol encryption/masking features which make the nature of their traffic ambiguous. Points for trying though, government.	Kindel (6640)

Points for trying though, government. So far it has been agents of the copyright holder downloading the material from torrent seeders that blow the whistle. Encryption or masking only stops the man in the middle. People like the music industry blame everyone except themselves for file sharing. If they'd moved faster to set up a legal service at fair prices they'd have stopped a lot of it. As it is they expect you to pay more than CD prices for some content and think that business model will fly.	PaulD (232)
