We rate-limit for sanity's sake, but we do not block P2P. We hope to be
able to use our NAC to warn (not quarantine) clients when they launch
P2P applications of the potential risks of copyright violation as an
in-your-face educational tool, but we will not block the traffic.

And yes, last year we had a couple hundred takedown notices. I get to
process them all.
