Especially the AOL apparent favouritism.
I have never once said that infringement of copyright was acceptable. Neither have NTL.

Agreed. But, advertising standards prohibit this kind of thing.
The same as Ford arn't allowed to show clips of the Mondeo being hammered down the M4 by some rep flashing at the driver in front. It creates the wrong impression.
Would you be so cool about it if it said "paedophiles downloaded 32GB of child porn in the last week. ntl 1M broadband is here!"
Going by your statements, they are only telling the truth.

What I think NTL have done is say it like it is, "yes the internet can be used for piracy and indeed some of our customers certainly use it for that means, but there is also other benefits to broadband"

It still looks like they are saying it is acceptable, no mater how you phrase it.

How is telling the truth promoting piracy?

Dad, can I use Kazaa to download the latest Britney single?
Well son, millons of people do it all the time.

The talk about movies, other than the FACTUAL comment on Spiderman, makes no reference to being able to download copyrighted films does it?
And I am sure most BB adverts from all companies at one time or another have included the line "downlaod movies at the touch of a button".
No thats how you interprit it. Whether or not it was intened that way is of no concern to any of us.

Quite the opposite, how it is interprited is of major concern to some of us!
Mostly the ones who are P'd at being told not to download more than 1GB per day, then no implimentation, followed by an advert which may apear to promote downloading films, makes a point of advertising the ability to download before the cinema and quote how many millions of films are downloaded.
If nothing else this add condones piracy.
Isn't that bad enough for you?
