BPI v ISPs - who's won on music piracy? 09:39am on 24 Jul 2008 One very important fact to remember is that music for downloading via P2P can be hosted on systems that are outside Europe in countries that are hostile to the western view of copyright.

It is not possible to take legal action against these countries as they will simple ignore any such threats as laughable. In fact you don't even have to download the music you can buy it over the counter in shopping centers and get a reciept!

My point is that there is NO WAY to stop illegal downloads the Music Industry needs to adust its buisness model and offer downloaded music really cheap making it not worth messing about with P2P clients.

As a previous poster pointed out not all P2P traffic is illegal by any means. To tell what it being down loaded the ISPs would have to inspect the data which would be an infingment of privacy in istself illegal.
