Even so, it's unlikely to be in an advert for the service, just as it's not in adverts for other capped services.

Agree but are they not better telling customers about it,you saw an ad for downloading movies but can not download them because of our AUP.

Its all a big con to get you to subcribe

:)

damn i just read through 10 pages :spin:


same here i cannot believe people want NTL to be accounted for this advert your affectivly killing the company if a huge fine or major action is taken against them :nono:


really well this would quash your theory then

Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl has taken more than $100m (£64.1m ) outside the US.

they arent suffering as bad as they make out.......

i dont condone piracy but NTL are clearly stating what is possible with the broadband service they are NOT pointing out how and where to get them just providing a faster net service that is capable of downloading larger files compaired to dial up

personally i think all you guys who want NTL to suffer should leave them because they do NOT need customers like you who have vendetta's gripes with them who are affectivly trying to turn every single screw to get them fined etc

Read what I wrote again!

It is like the driver of the car in the bank robbery - he didn't do the crime of robbing the bank, but he aided and abbetted those who did, and as such is almost as culpable.

one thing your forgetting is if a person was not going to buy something yet they found it for free and took how would a company be losing profits ?

You don't need to tell me about it, I know all about it.

The thing is, both happen on the Internet, and both are wrong. However Ntl need to get a grip of their advertising agency, because they are going to e in real trouble if they don't. Have you looked at the ASA's website???

You do not own the original. You own a pressing of the master disc.

You are NOT allowed (technically) to copy the CD or any other format you might own, to any other format, unless you are in possesion of either written permission from the copyright holder or a dubbing licence from both PPL and MCPS.

Contrary to popular belief, and although it is accepted that it goes on and generally allowed - you have no rights whatsoever to copy anything, irrespective of the reason and irrespective of the ownership of the CD.

In the US it is different, that is how the law stands in the UK. As someone who's job involves regular consulation with both of the bodies, as well as advising my customers on licensing issues, you can take it from me that this is the truth.

That said, it is accepted that this practice goes on - and to be honest no body such as PPL/IFPI would go after someone for making a cassette for the car of a CD you own, and even if they did no court in the land would entertain the case.

But technically, it is ILLEGAL (and they are watching you! one day I might tell you how!!)

Good, lets start with the advertising agency. :dozey:

andygrif it is dodgey ground if you make a backup yes technically your not allowed to but it is accepted and i doubt anyone would care because you do own the original in the retail sense

Can you read?

And you talk about me getting a grip!!!!

This has nothing to do with me being Deputy Hollywood - a one man mission to rid the world of you evil downloaders.

I'm just quoting facts. I couldn't care less what you download. But if I find you I might just report you...bwahahaha:devsmoke:

You know what they say?

You do the crime.......

Logistics


:rolleyes:

I believe BT make you aware on their TV adverts that you will need to redial after 60 min to avoid charges. Companies do let people know, NTL don't.:(

I've trudged through all the posts and my opinion has still not changed since my one and only post on page 1, but I would like to know what the major issue is:

The apparent advertising of an unlimited service.

or

The apparent advertising of illegal d/loads.

Well with that thinking lets abolish the internet because thats how a lot of paedophiles get their stuff.
Ban all ISP's destroy the whole internet and downt even allow online games.

after all the internet is aiding and abbetting the sick paedos isnt it?



Come on man, think real, thats all I ask.
