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.
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
It seems to be that that they will be between 256 and 320Kbit MP3s
Well that is your choice - but they may well be casing your house anyway if the Digital Britain report is anything to go by

despite the new legislation which i expect will have to reflect that no action could be taken against ISP's who follow legal routes taking action against anyone with out them being found guilty by a court will lead to who ever takes that action being sued i epect very few in real terms will be affected by the proposed speed limits
as to the contract saying i am fully responsible that would be laughed out of court under the unreasonable terms legislation as businesses are not well enough protected expecting a higher standard of of consumers wont get them very far
and expecting me to inspect any system i come in contact with to that standard would likely mean i would have to carry a great deal of software with me to do so again i cant see that getting very far
and as most ISP's have been pushing to keep them out of policing this ( hence the disappearance of the 3 strike thing lol even in France it seems now)
as to casing my house they are free to do so lol though they will be severely disappointed
me
