P2P in Japan like the latest "Perfect Dark" application (successor to Winny and Share) is already fully encrypted at both the protocol and data level. Update 5:40AM - Just to make myself extra clear since many people refuse to believe that we are not talking about deep packet inspection here. Not only does this method avoid privacy concerns, it also happens to be the most practical if not the only way of attacking the problem since many file trading applications are already completely encrypted against packet snooping. This method doesn't involve any of that politically dreaded DPI (Deep Packet Inspection) since the copyright owner merely needs to look for their own content on the popular file trading sites and ask for a list of peers by merely participating in the file trade. When the copyright owners see a list of IP (Internet Protocol) addresses downloading their copyrighted content, they'll send that list of violators to the ISP (Internet Service Provider) and the ISP will warn and then ban the copyright infringers if necessary. This time the Internet providers seem to have learned from the past and they're going to be much more targeted by going after the most obvious transgressors of illegal file trading. But that ran afoul of the Japanese Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications because of concerns of privacy and the providers abandoned that practice. According to the Daily Yomiuri Online, the Internet providers two years ago attempted to disconnect users anytime they detected the use of Winny (a popular Japanese P2P application) or any other file-sharing software.
