I always had two concerns about this:

1. If I download an avi file via P2P, how would they know if it was copyrighted? It may be I was just taking a copy of your holiday video which you edited and encoded as avi.

2. (And most important.) Under the telecommunications act no-one is permitted to monitor my phone conversations unless they get a court order allowing the phone tap. Why should my electronic data communications be treated differently from my electronic voice communications? Monitoring what I send/receive via phone, fax or internet (they all use basically the same infrastructure) should all be subject to the same privacy legislation.
