This is exactly what QoS is though. You cannot prioritize one type of traffic without unfairly delaying another kind. It's a basic basic principle of providing quality of service. How would you expect a service provider's core is prioritized? Would you expect that RTP traffic would have the same priority as an FTP download? The fact of the matter is that no matter what provider you are with, your traffic is being queued and prioritized in the manner the provider sees fit. How do you think it is possible for providers to provide SLAs to their business customers without buying dedicated equipment for each customer? All the customers use the same equipment, and they are all queued. Fact of life.
And why should they be liable for illegal activity just because they inspect to see if traffic is bittorrent? As everyone keeps saying, it's just an application which has many legal uses, right?
