But an other questions remains. How can you make P2P illegal in the
Internet?
How many independent states do exist which have independent laws?

P2P is legal - at least for now. What is illegal is
distributing copyrighted material you don't own. Abuse of
P2P for this purpose is what will drive making P2P illegal.
Already P2P has earned an unfortunate shady aura - like a
pawn shop. Of course a pawn shop is legal, but we all know
most of the goods in there are probably stolen.
