BTW IIRC, automated caching of copyrighted content is protected under fair harbour provisions of DMCA. Although that is an American perspective, I believe under NZ copyright law it could be considered &quot;Technical Expert/Archivist&quot; exemption.<br>

I&#39;m updating my labnotes for my network management paper regarding the use of proxy caches, and previously I have pointed to the possibility of caching<br>
peer-to-peer traffic as shown in the paper Deconstructing the Kazaa Network<br>

I would like to know whether or not caching of peer-to-peer is something that ISPs actually do today, and if not why not. I imagine there are probably<br>
some interesting legal interactions, but I&#39;m eager to find out how industry is moving in this field.<br>
