Not really feeling that Big Bro deal, even though RIAA chief Cary Sherman says it "doesn't give rise...to any privacy concerns because it can operate automatically and anonymously"? It's cool, there's a better approach: A locally installed filter on your computer.
As a bonus, a local filter would defeat encrypted torrents, since you've got to decrypt 'em, at which point the filter would kick in. Sherman is a smart cookie though, and knows people aren't just gonna sign up to have their machine lojacked:
"Why would somebody put that on their machine? They wouldn't likely want to do that, they'd do that when it benefits them such as for viruses and so on and so forth...it could be enforced at the modem or put in by the ISP."
I've got nothing here.

What they want, and what they are going to get are 2 different stories.
Good thing my main OS was no need for and A/V (no viruses for that OS) and my XP system will find a alternative if this happens, and that's a big if.
i have been starting to delete some of it....

meh i don't get viruses anyway (i stay away from dodgy site, oh and the 500kb files on PSP networks :) )
If they do, I will remove all AV's from any of my PCs.
Or switch to Linux.

Have a 2nd OS installed :P
I doubt this'll have much success at all:
1) Anti-virus companies don't have much incentive to try to implement the detection
2) How would the detection work???
3) Even if it does work, expect people to find ways of getting around it... and this being the piracy community, it'll spread very quickly (oh okay, A/V apps will probably get updated, but it's much easier to bypass the detection in this case, than to patch it up)
4) For A/V apps which don't do this, expect their popularity to grow
