33% not a serious problem? If you are a shop owner and only 67% of all people would pay would you call it a serious problem or would you increase the prices for ALL people? Up to 5% is no problem but more of course is...

Again my question where is the problem that these users are sharing legal files?

The probability of meeting the same client twice within a short amount of time is very low in a large network. You would have to handle a huge database of information on who downloaded / uploaded how much.
Its not necessary. A credit system based on the percentage of the upload speed you offer is enough. Of course this would only work with partial sharing, so the people would share at least the things which they download. See eMule!
