As one who deals with the Federal Police most often in supplying user 
details for investigation for prosecution on these matters I can assure 
you its more criminal :)

Actually, no, because I have the authority under the telecommunications 
act to monitor any data passing through my network, either at direction of 
a L.E.A, or because  i "suspect" someone is up to no good, I can 
guaranteee you, the people that try to do 300G  a month are all illegal 
p2p'rs, because they are the ones who cry the loudest when somthing does 
not work or its going "slow", I and any of my associates look and we can 
see what they are doing and know they are comitting offences, so we have 
the captured proof, and "truth" is an acceptable defence.

Well we had to agree to somthing adventually :)
But I still dont beleive that gives the users the right to treat their 
conenction as a 1:1, they are in a shared pool, like all ISP's run, thats 
why many ISP's have business grades, which are in fact 1:1, and should be 
because they pay for it.
