But also that they'll end up with even more traffic due to the overhead from encryption.

This sounds like a really really good idea! I think if you pay for a internet connection, Sometimes upwards of 60+ bucks you should be able to use that connection for whatever you want rather it's surfing the net or stealing the latest Mp3! Thats just my 2 cents.
