P2P traffic decreased by 15% only to be back to previous levels just three weeks after the massive crackdown on file sharing users in Germany.

[...]
P2P traffic currently makes up between 50% (day-time) and 80% (night-time) of Germany's Internet traffic. Thereof about 50% is eDonkey (mainly eMule), 45% BitTorrent and 2.5% Gnutella. While any P2P software can be generally used to exchange legal content, only BitTorrent is significantly used for such purposes.

Whats your newest product? I see, a Peer-to-Peer — P2P filter module for your traffic managers.

Expensive P2P: File sharing based on Peer-to-Peer (P2P) networks has surpassed the World Wide Web as the single most bandwidth-consuming application in many parts of today's Internet. It can cause a substantial increase in traffic volume which in turn incurs rising communication costs and adversely affects the performance of other network applications such as Web, E-Mail and File Transfer. Legacy filtering approaches based on port numbers are error prone. They produce many mismatches (about 30-50%) and are easily circumvented.

They talk as if you are parasitizing their network, rather than using a network that you have paid for.
And since when have skype calls been piracy?

Encrypting network traffic puts a stop to snooping like this, I forsee it becoming standard. One bittorrent client already uses it, and it doesn't mysteriously slow down where normal clients do.

Encrypting traffic also has the handy side-effect of making reverse engineering an app and snooping traffic illegal under the DMCA, not the intended intention of that particular example of payola-legislation. If I encrypt Streamer, it automatically makes any evidence gathered by snooping it's data inadmisible in court

The rate limitation is invisible to P2P users

No it isn't.
