    Maybe they can block specific Ports, or limit Bandwidth usage.

    There is a few large Japanese ISPs on the market, it just take the few to coordinate and block the ports or the sites and basically most of Japan would be block, it is not unlike in USA where there are thousands of ISPs, that would be difficult to achieve.

    My uk friend started the p2p download of a new game, and got email from his ISP, and they have blocked his download.
    I don't know what the game was. Provider was Comcast, but i might be wrong.

    Comcast has been blocking access to some p2p and the FCC is looking into that issue right now

    The Web is just a enourm place to go hiding wherever there's a need. Don't know if they can shout down file sharers.
