What about encrypted packets?

Do the file sharers encrypt their data over their networks? If so, will they be forced to give the keys to their ISP's?

And how will they know if an MP3 is copyrighted or not, will they compare the music to a database? The same with films and freeware/GPLware.

All this on the fly.

And I'm not happy about them having the power to totally disconnect someone from the internet. Surely only the courts should have the authority to do that.
