But only with a view of protecting VM's ass (and rightly so, if I was VM).

It's not a legal binding contract with regard to third parties claiming copyright infringement - it simply says that VM require that you (the customer) take all responsibility for your connection to ensure VM cannot be claimed against. Otherwise VM would be just as liable as the customer - they "allowed" the network to carry this alledged data.

Where (in UK law) does it state, or where has a precidence been set, where an end customer is responsible for his connection (in a civil case remember - no point compairing this to a child porn download - criminal Vs. civil).
