It's possible
---Those are not music sharing uses...---

Which was my point, that there are plenty of legit uses for p2p
networks beyond infringing copyright.

---and are you sure they're able to monitor downloads well
enough to produce useful marketing information---

Yes, there's a company called Big Champagne that monitors p2p
networks and supplies the RIAA companies with marketing info:

---And how would a file be prevented from coming into the
network---

The Register covered this better, with info about a network
(Wippit) that does filter content so only files they have
permission for (just indies, no RIAA content) is allowed:
