I just read this article which says that ISPs have shot down the governement’s plans to have them block or rigorously monitor a subscriber’s data.

“surveillance and privacy laws explicitly forbid ISPs to inspect the contents of data…”

“P2P technology is legally utilised in a number of commercial services including [the] BBC…”

I am very happy about this, not only because I am an avid fan of P2P *whistles* but because it’s just ridiculous that the government is so quick to champion an obviously flawed scheme from a foreign government! – Peer pressure? I thought we were supposed to grow out of that?
