Large ISPs Profit From BitTorrent Traffic, Study Finds

http://j.mp/nCKJV8  (TorrentFreak)

   "The researchers translated their findings into the actual costs and
    revenues of Internet providers and found that contrary to what the
    public would expect, large Tier 2 ISPs actually make money off
    BitTorrent traffic. This means that companies such as Comcast, Virgin
    Media and France Telecom profit directly from heavy downloaders."
