Traffic also has dropped, at least in the UK, because most torrent sites are denied to all but the determined file sharer. To access them, VPN is essential.
I hadn't realised that P2P traffic had dropped so much, to the point that policing may not be worthwhile. The number of seeders does not appear to have dropped per torrent, but I guess the global picture is different than the national one.
Not really but regardless the end result is the same. Sufficient numbers of people pay for content or use legitimate free sources that it makes DPI shaping of traffic not worth the bother.

I can still saturate my link (down) with two or three torrents. No apparent caps in my region.
