Correct.
Yeah, that's right-I'm one of the "ntl brigade" 
No one is defending anyone here, what's happened is you have made an arse of yourself with the thread you started.
Sorry, but that's just the way it is. |
I don't feel as though I've made an arse of myself, all I posted was a quote from the BBC where NTL are accused of supporting illegal P2P activity, I compared that to the fact that last year they were pulled up for advertising spiderman as available for download before it was available on dvd.
Then pointed out that Copyright infringement isn't theft (which it isn't) and then I got critiscised for criticising NTL!
[edit]Although I did maintain that If I download an mp3, that doesn't neccesarily mean I would have bought it, a point which you ignored. Is that what you were referring to when you claim I've "made an ass of myself"?[/edit]
And if you're saying I posted this in the wrong place, where should it have been posted?
But the way I see it NTL advertise on edonkey, which BTW is NOT a website, it's a p2p application, they have in the past advertised their service on the strength of being able to download illegally (which IIRC they were slapped on the wrist for (Yep just checked, informally resolved on the 19th october 2003)). They
seem to want to play both sides of the piracy argument,
I find it VERY hard to believe they have no control over where their ads are placed and as they use the same ad agency as telewest (who's ads don't appear on edonkey AFAIK) it strikes me as odd.
