I am not disagreeing with your point, but can you most some relevant links to articles about countries blocking the bittorrent protocol?

I meant blocking in a legal sense. See e.g. [1].

And of course you can use a VPN, but what will happen if fewer people seed? Or if everybody moves to a VPN, and anti-piracy contractors start targeting VPN providers?
