Not telling them to pirate. Lots of legit reasons for P2P. If I am connecting to only encrypted peers then the ³script kiddies² have a harder time seeing what folks are doing. It does not make them anonymous, no more than nat makes your home network secure. However, it does act like nat by clouding the data some.
Many of these ³law firms² have interns sitting around all day scouring p2p sites. If they find someone and their data is harder to lookup they simply move on. The more sophisticated ones have programs which automate all this. If you are harder to see then you get put to the bottom of the list. I did a test about a year ago. Put 2 mac minis in a co-lo. Spent two days downloading everything that was hot on the trackers. On had a client only connecting to encrypted peers. The other did not. The unencrypted client received 10 or so notices. The other only received two. The watchers can run encrypted peers too, but the data is harder to get.

Are you seriously education your customers to pirate? By the way, that doesn't really do anything in terms of hiding your identity.
