It seems like you have a small portion of the argument here, from those saying you shouldn't download full stop, to those downloading what they think they should be able to. It looks like those that download everything there is simply won't join in this argument because there's nothing to argue about, they'll probably read this thread and scratch their heads in bewilderment..

I find it quite comical that when people try to justify having 100mb (for legitimate use that is), I'm sure there are a few people who could, but would be a minority (I could be wrong, but I doubt it). I think without piracy there wouldn't be a 100mb, would there be a need for even 50mb. If VM goes too far, messes with newsgroups etc, then I'm sure they'll lose too many customers. So all what happens is a token gesture that they are doing 'something' about it, but I can't see them doing much more than they need to.

I don't think there's anything to discuss about TPB here as VM is only acting on instruction, anyone can bypass it, and basically business resumes as normal.
