God damn them. It's never going to work.

Also, torrents are used for more than just piracy. Not much more, but it's still a bloody useful thing to have.

Good on Eirecom for standing up for the rights of its customers.

p2p is being used for alot more things these days.

BBC's iPlayer, Sky's thingy, think CBS have some stuff. Out on a limb I'd say many media companies are taking advantage of p2p.

The really stupid thing is - let's say they spend a wedge of cash and ISP's do *something* - within a few days there will be an alternative way to do it.

There will always be a way though..

Proxies, encryption etc. - best method would be to lower your damn prices mr record man!
