Because it is your responsibility maybe? This is from Amazon's MP3 service - I would expect similar terms would apply to the VM service
Except as set forth in Section 2.1 above, you agree that you will not redistribute, transmit, assign, sell, broadcast, rent, share, lend, modify, adapt, edit, sub-license or otherwise transfer or use the Digital Content.

So that basicially says by downloading the file in the first place you agree in full that you are responsible to what happens to it, even if you didn't know.

all of this would cause even the lesser proof needed of a civil action plus the first prosecution would like find many just leaving the service just incase

Remember this is against the backdrop of government legislation that
all ISPs are going to have to follow - that illegal sharing will have action taken against it. Leaving this sort of service doesn't mean that things still won't happen - it will just mean you lose the legal option

as to the price i very much doubt anything much over £10 will be seen as a good price as in my experience people will still buy cds as they really like even though i have the mp3s already so its not an alternative to them especially as the quallity is unlikey to be as good as the cd version
|
It seems to be that that they will be between 256 and 320Kbit MP3s

if the catalogue is truly unlimited and covers all the major labels then i may go as high as £20 but again if i thought that they would be casing any mps's that escaped my house lol i wouldn't bother

Well that is your choice - but they may well be casing your house anyway if the Digital Britain report is anything to go by
