We have to take into account that SpamArchive may have gone the way of Blue Security. Perhaps SA was effective enough to frustrate spammers and they took appropriate actions.
Well since it is now the law, ISPs are liable for any illegal activities their clients (users; customers;) commit. So ISPs comply with the law by providing any information to the authorities when such actions, in this case P2P transactions, are detected.
Good example would be a hacker under an ISP, the victim traces the hacker's IP back to the router of the ISP, finds the ISP's abuse email and writes an email. The ISP is liable for this hacker's actions and can be sued, therefore they alert the authorities or simply suspend/remove the hacker's service.
There is confused discussions going about that the BitTorrent system is different from P2P.
Peer 2 Peer is a direct connection to each other, I believe only 1 on 1 wherein BitTorrent is a system where peers are connected via a tracker (somewhat of a server that organizes everything) and there can be many peers sending partial data at once.
Depending on what Spain believes, this still may be a valid source for obtaining media and such.

Shame isn't it?
