Re: Virgin media possibly getting serious on dodgy boxes?
 
Why do Virgin allow it to happen though? Surely this all comes from cable runs to properties that still send a signal down the line? Can they not just terminate it at their end so to speak?

That would be fine if it was just the TV that ran on the cable. However it's shared with the broadband

Yeah well the sooner they crack down on illegal p2p the better..just like the free tv people the p2p downloaders are what way would you describe it "****"

Now why should any musician carry on and produce music if someone like you isn't prepared to pay him for his talent.They can't work for nothing,no one can.If you don't buy but just download for nothing you are literally stealing from that musician.

Now is that fair?Is it right?

Put yourself in their place and think how you would feel.

it has actually been shown that those that download illegally actually en masse spend more on actual product then those that don't.

presumably because the vast majority use it like browsing - hear something they like and then want to own the actual release.

... which was a great self-righteous excuse for their thievery until the advent of services like Spotify. ;)
