P2P Music Downloads

While the Arctic sea ice is disappearing at an accelerated rate, some people worry about how illegal can be using LimeWire, or how to setup Azureus. One of my worries, as we speak, is to check out Google Chrome for you, and that's exactly what I used for most of the day to do my surfing. Anyway, I won't rush the review, because sometimes it's better to do things right and slow, rather than making a quick mess, so I'll leave world's latest Internet browser for another day, and move on to - once again - P2P downloads!

So...what about P2P music downloads? Apart from the fact that everyone does it, nobody admits it, and they all enjoy it! No, I am not talking about anything dirty - P2P downloads can also be 100% legal, but ISP guys are surely scared of it. Why?
The answer should be obvious - the more P2P downloaders you have as subscribers, the more bandwidth they use, the smaller your profit...
or something like that. If it's not P2P music, it's P2P video, and that's even worse, because it takes up more bandwidth, no matter if it's legal or not.
According to recent surveys from multiple sources, P2P traffic decreased heavily for some US and UK ISPs, being replaced by traffic with video streaming sites, such as Hulu, YouTube, Veoh, or the BBC iPlayer. The most interesting part is that even Japan sees such a change, but they have the most insane service plans available anywhere on Earth , think about 100Mbps symmetric fiber optic Internet connection for only $40/month!!!
I just got a headache. Really, and you want to know why? It's incredible how far could go Japan in terms of connection speed, simply incredible! Now, what they really need is a HD video and music streaming site, since I am sure P2P music downloads are not for these guys - just think about the quality of the video and music you can stream over a 100Mbps connection!
