Virgin Media Are Going To Learn A Lesson The Hard Way.
VM are trying to stop their users using P2P software ( Such as LimeWire ) and torrents on their network. This will result in the majority of their clued-up users cancelling their contracts and going with their competitors, in my opinion. Do you think this is a likely scenario?

The smart play is to figure out how to take advantage.

Yes, these broadband companies who are making deals with big media firms to clamp down on pirate downloading are actually shooting themselves in the foot. They will kill off their own customer base. The truth is that there is no compelling consumer need for broadband without pirate downloading.

 Along the same lines, I remember reading that something like 95% of the internets bandwidth is used up by porn torrents. Made me laugh if they're trying to clamp down on that.
