I can see the libertarian point that the content of the bandwidth is no concerns of ntl. ntl have a right to limit there service, but I'm sure that they are doing this purely for cost reasons than for hurting the warez industry. The whole issue of legal conduct seems simply to justify the well u don't need that much bandwidth anyway argument. Suppose someone downloads the same demo over and over again, or leaves a radio stream running, perfectly legal just a bit of waste.
I have to admit 30 gig a month sounds quite generous, but as I've never bothered to add up my bandwidth usuage I can't tell how it affects me.
