There are a lot of legal use of torrents. Many games use it for updates (WoW especially comes to mind), many Linux software solutions as well (MikroTik use it, Fedora use it and most other distros can be gotten by Torrent provided by distro owners). This is not the only fileshare app that is used for legal distributions. Napster is another protocol after all Napster gone legal and people are using it to download songs and videos they paid for. Blocking fileshare apps these days can't really "legally" be blocked anylonger. Throttle them sure but to a reasonable level, people downloading to much a good AUP should handle if they download 24/7 and use a large amount of bandwidth.

Charge him a large install fee to drop the pps on your AP and a bit more monthly for the bandwidth. Ubnt NS5M come to mind.
