And do you believe the same goes for Open source applications? There are more open source being distributed this way then where large for profit companies use it for distribution.

So as an ISP we should get clobbered with connections and network issues on our wireless network to take care of the budgets of all these legal places? Most of these make 10X the profit I do in a year, let them figure out a better way. Afterall, the customer is wanting their content. I limit the crap out of torrents. It is a poorly implemented application for most networks...for wireless networks for sure. I don't care if the government wants to distribute welfare checks across torrents on my network. It will work, although slowly. If the government want's to tell me how I can control my network and makes it law, I will do something else. I am not trading the big corp software support problem for my own at 10X the less profit. Hell, I was squirrel hunting when I started my ISP and I still got a pocket full of shells.
