You're being obtuse. You know very well what I'm saying.

But one bit I will spell out - You said:

What is more contentious is when VM is asked to provide bandwidth for customers to download illegal content sometimes at the expense of slowing down other customers on their segment who want to access the internet in a more conventional way.

Since VM don't know which people asking for more bandwidth want to download illegal content, to whom does the responsibility for policing it shift so that "conventional" downloaders can have the bandwidth they demand? What you said made no sense in the way you put it.

Of course there's no argument that illegal downloaders could be hogging bandwidth at the expense of conventional downloaders, but how does that become contentious if there's nothing you can do about it?
