I just read this article that the larger ISPs in the US are going to start monitoring individual accounts this month (July 2012) to make sure they are not downloading copyrighted materials. If this is really true - my days of sharing and downloading may soon be over.
Here is a link to the article.

New laws in U.S. may stop movie downloading
Re: New laws in U.S. may stop movie downloading
You can always share foreign movies.
Monitoring takes lots of resources and has lots of restrictions imposed by law, so they will probably just use fake clients to detect the IPs that are sharing files with known hashes, as usual.
The German case was already discussed here: https://www.first-loves.com/forums/v ... f=1&t=8100
Would be interesting to see comments at http://torrentfreak.com/, but nothing there yet.
