Can you please, just for once, stop using the 'employee versus customer' line - it is just not relevant (not for my argument anyway), Believe it or not, I only work to live and do not have a mission to stick up for ntl regardless. The company who has advertised this is not in question. It's the moral high ground which I don't think anybody on this thread has the right to take that's appalling, not the fact that it's ntl you have a vendetta against.
I think you are obscuring the central point by repeatedly focusing on a very narrow side issue. Not a single person has replied to you to object that they have never done anything wrong, or never downloaded copyright material from the net. Your point is well made. But as others have posted, civil society would collapse if one person's wrongdoing prevented them from acting on someone else's.

What I'm interested in establishing (and I think one or two others are trying to thrash this out too) is whether ntl have done anything wrong, and if they have, what action should be taken.

Everything else - e.g. whether or not you are on a 'mission' to stick up for ntl, whether or not someone else is carrying on an anti-cap grudge match, and so on - is irrelevant to me. I'm interested in the facts behind this issues and how they are interpreted.
