Dave,

You have all valid, intelligent points backup up with great examples and
analogies. I agree that a P2P tax is a fair solution. But how is it
possible for an ISP to prevent the non-P2P accounts from file sharing?

You said something about blocking/allowing certain ports, etc. Can't P2P
applications and file sharing communities use whatever port(s) they want?
