Comments please.

Personally I welcome it. Too many "net neutrality" means an opportunity to steal or not pay for stolen goods. Crime was never neutral.
I disagree. It's important the Internet stay neutral. Trying to correct one thing like what you are thinking has SERIOUS SERIOUS SERIOUS consequences that you may not foresee.

Should we ban guns because they are used to kill people?

Alcohol causes lots of bad things to happen. Should we ban alcohol? We all know how that went.

There are plenty of legitimate uses for P2P networks. For example, updates to MMORPG games frequently distribute updates through P2P. I've downloaded a number of Linux distros by P2P. They are also used in some IPTV technologies.

Getting rid of net neutrality is opening the door to a whole host of abuses by ISP's.
