DPI would make blocking possible irrespective of torrent clients,
protocol etc. There would also be no need to do it per site such as
pirates bay. The only other way to make blocking impossible is
through encrypting traffic eg in VPN or tunnels such as ssh tunnels.<br>

Second, torrent clients are not generic, so will CCK be able to
pin down all the different types? I dont know.<br>
Third, in the west they have decided to take down the largest
pirates (read TIM dot Com and Newzealand). But even then, with
Napster down, Megaupload gone... i still have thousands of peers
seeding from every torrent i download.<br>
<br>
Its only a matter of time before someone else come up with
something that makes torrents obsolete. rather than blockading the
media owners should be thinking disruptive techonology, something
that makes torrents irrelevant.<br>
<br>
My two cents.<br>
