I'm hoping that the ISP's will tell them to pound sand. it is not their job or their practice to police the traffic on their service. Just like it isn't right for AT&T to listen in on phone calls that go over their networks. Monitoring packets should be just as illegal as wire tapping!!! The 4th ammendment is still in force in the US, right?
In addition the ISP's can't really do this, because there is no way for them to know what is in a packet if it is encrypted. So, file sharers will just make sure they are using encrypted transport protocols like SSL or encrypted Bittorrent.
