ask not what X can do for you, but what you can do for X.
i.e., what does ipv6 do for the p2p vendors?

More direct connections between the peers, instead of taking detours through the "pull mode internet" where you need to find a common meeting point somewhere which is not obscured by address mangling. And because of many NAT´s today limit the number of flows per subscriber, you also should get more performance, which is something that directly appeals to end users.
