Think people feel strongly enough about the rights of content producers to see the cost of their internet access double or triple?

And the major thieves will still find ways around it all and trading will continue.

Actually, in order to keep track of their customers and to justify the billing, ISPs already track which user is logged into which IP. There is no additional costs, it is something they do already.

Logging what a user does is not required. It is only required that they log when they are online on a given IP,which is something they do already.
