This is what I was wondering about on a greater scale. Do you happen to have a link to recent statistics that show this is the case for torrent traffic in gener

  I found two studies from 2010: one by a Princeton student[1] and one by the University of Ballarat (Australia) [2]. Both of then found that the vast majority of bittorrent traffic, not surprisingly, is illegal and both were heavily critiziced. I quote: "...89.9 per cent of them were illegal and, of the remainder, 8.2 per cent was porn."[2] "Overall, about one percent of the total files were categorized as "likely noninfringing."[1] [1] http://arstechnica.com/business/2010/01/bittorrent-census-about-99-of-files-copyright-infringing/ http://arstechnica.com/business/2010/01/bittorrent-census-ab...
