I seem to recall when the cap first came out, a BBC online article which implied that one of the reasons for a cap was pressure from the BPI (British Phongraphic Industry) to reduce illegal downloads.

OK so yes here we are talking of movie downloads, but it's much the same thing really. It's copyrighted material, and ntl seem to be promoting that it's OK to get hold of it without paying the authors.

I can see FACT, BPI, MPAA and anybody else watching this very closely.
