I'm not able to follow that discussion very closely (lots of technical ISP jargon in there that I don't understand), but I guess the concern is the ISP caching copyrighted content, right? Isn't the caching of copyrighted images in an http proxy just the same issue though?

Isn't the caching of copyrighted images in an http proxy just the same issue though? That's the point that I made, and Weaver's response is (1) there's a difference between what's legal and what will get you sued and (2) HTTP caching is in some sense grandfathered in, while there is still time to define rules for P2P caching.
