it would be trivial for someone to write a program to ensure they are
never inactive based on data, and in fact with the proliferation of file
swapping there is surely activity on some of  those otherwise idle
nodes.  Just lurking on irc causes traffic.  As such they cant tell.

The same way voip providers cant tell if the sip client didnt hang up
properly and many disconnect after 4 hours (even some cell carriers do
this).  

I however have a problem with thge use of the word 'unlimited' when it
is clear ther are limits however buried in user agreements they may be
(or undisclosed as in the case of some mobile and voip providers).
Tmobile for example does not state they disconnect at 3 hours 59 minutes
and 59 seconds.  Broadvoice doesnt declare they terminate at exactly 4
hours (or less or more depends if their equipment is actually working
but it generally works out to 4 hours on the nose).
