But they would say that wouldn't they?!
Couple the encryption system with proxy chains and you make it all the more difficult to track the individuals.
I live in "Rip Off" Britain, where we pay a ridiculous premium for music and movies, considering the manufacturing costs. It took a concerted effort on the part of the consumers to reduce new car prices, so why shouldn't the music/film industry suffer the same wrath?
Until the prices are reduced to a realistic level, people will continue to download music from P2P networks.
From talking to others about this issue, there seems to be an increasing trend in using P2P downloads to simply try before you buy. If you are serious about your music, an mp3 encoded at 128bit is far inferior to the quality of a true digital recording. I listen to classical music and have downloaded a lot of pieces via P2P. If I like the composer and performance, I delete the download and purchase the original because I prefer the high quality!
