But that's the point. The reason people get sued is becuase they have suffered losses.
Every time you watch a movie that you have downloaded illegally, the Studios suffer a loss. Every time you download a music track, the composers and artists suffer a loss.
As a conduit for inflicting loss on others, ntl should prepare themselves to be sued. The entertainment business is a highly litigious industry, and immensely protective one.
If someone stole ntl's copyright you would expect them to sue, so why should it not work the other way around? Becuase they don't have much money? Well they should be more careful when they make illegal claims then.
