No, it's still against the law to download copyrighted materials! As part of the reasoning for not forcing ISPs to disclose information re: Online file sharers, one judge described a p2p network as a photocopier in a library. Although it is surrounded by copyrighted materials - the photocopier (or p2p) is not illegal itself. This does not make it legal to download copyrighted materials - although it certainly makes it hard for anyone to do anything about it.
