grey area - NTL provide the newsgroups on a 'common carrier' basis. That means it is not illegal to download messages - but, you are subsequently liable for what you do with the download. If it is copyright, or illegal for other reasons, then you can be prosecuted for storing or distributing it, but not by NTL.
