Many people like Kim Dotcom say "ISP are lying to you if they say bit torrent is less than 50% of total bandwidth." What are your guys thoughts, whats the total bandwidth used by piracy?

My half azzed educated guess is that P2P is less than 2% of bandwidth. More likely a tenth of that.

Just look at the seeds/peers on recent and popular videos. Even in the thousands, and summed up, it represents a tiny fraction of the estimated 5 billion net users. Majority of whom are mainly phones.

The average person hasnt a clue as to how to use torrents. There was a period of a decade ago when it began to rise in popularity, but the main servers were shut down and the music business began selling 'cheap' music through app stores.

Youtube type streaming services are currently the rage, and would assume account for the majority of the bandwith. Its a major problem now the the homebound in the wuflu pandemic, which have caused some areas to slow down to a crawl. Especilally with the high resolution craze.

Throw in porn, and the numbers are probably around 85-90%
