It is quite ironic that you are forced to download content over a VM cable modem because they don't carry it in HD on their TV network. You'd have to subscribe to Sky to watch it without being able to download.
There's a loser somewhere along the chain in most things, in this instance, though no-one will feel sympathy and certainly not me, it is Sky as you'd either have a Sky HD subscription to watch their exclusive HD or you'd have to wait for DVD / BluRay. Virgin benefit to an extent as downloading plugs the gaps their substandard HD offerings leave behind to you.
The irony isn't lost on me at all

You have to love people complaining about the trash the industry is putting out and how the output is so low quality they refuse to pay for it, as they download it and get it for free. Obviously not that bad...
Would you agree with me that a total stop to piracy isn't the masterplan. Getting it to the kind of level it was at when Napster was not quite getting the attention of the industry, 2000, would be alright as at the moment it's just out of hand?
