They were also telling you that you could download the Spiderman movie which again is quite correct if you have the copyright holders permission.
It's just like buying a fast car such as the 9 litre V8 Corvette special which averaged 235 mph on Nevada desert roads. It could be advertised quite rightly as being a car that allows you to drive at over 200 mph but try doing that on the M1 and see if you can get away with it.m I don't think that the judge would accept the fact that the advert said you could drive at over 200 mph as being mitigating circumstances for your breach of the law.

Not quite. Car adverts of that kind always include '*where permitted' in the small print. NTL made no such disclaimer in their advert. In fact, what they said was that the Spiderman movie was available to download from the 'net before it was even in the cinema. Blatant incitement to perform an illegal act.
