If an endless tsunami of torrent traffic makes it so Tor users can't
buy music off bandcamp - a site where the artist gets the lion's
share, and where some small indie artists are getting enough to wait
tables 32 hours a week instead of 40, and thus spend 8 more hours a
week on music - is that a problem?

Not as silly as you think, but the outright blocking vs finding ways
to throttle is more a discussion worth having.  I suspect most of the
Silent Majority(tm), if polled, would rather throttle than block.

I *swear* there was a paper on this other than the 2009 one I posted
the other day.

Best,
