Yeah, I'm aware of the encryption and potential legal issues.
I wouldn't be surprised if the majority is infringing either, it just seems dodgy to draw conclusions regarding piracy from traffic data where there's no way to tell how much is legit and how much is infringing, unless the majority of legit p2p services are not encrypting their data and you know of those that do, they tend to carry infringing material more than legit
