i'v been downloading films && music for the last 3 years the music iv been downloading daily off limewire which at one point i got quite addicted to and got caught out, signed the form and got back on with films i download say one a week and leave it running over night get a good fast connection havn't been caught out.

If they are giving warnings before they cut people off then what is the problem.

You simply stop downloading the stuff, its not rocket science is it and the ISPs have a legal obligation to prevent this sort of thing.

Stop bleating about being ripped off by the REAL STUFF price wise, remember you can serve time in prison for it as well as get a very large fine. Cutting people off from the net is the least of the actions they could take, theft is theft.

The music industry has re-aligned itself to meet peoples needs and demands. Providing music to be downloaded legally at a reduced price compared with hard media. They saw the tide had turned and made sure that they were still making money from it.

The film industry has yet to do this. People want to be able to download films and stream them or store them on a hard disk. Until the film industry embraces this rather than trying to dictate how films are watched, then there will still be lots of illiegal downloading.

I have Sky Multiroom which means that Sky Player is available to me. As I take the train to London every week I sometimes get the chance to watch a movie on the way there and one on the way back (if I'm not working). If it's box-office I have to pay a download price and if it's basic movies then I don't (because I already pay for the movie package). Other programmes are available such as sports, documentaties, comedies etc. Unfortunately, it's against their rules to watch any of it outside the UK.

I'm talking more about options really. As an example:

Girls Aloud release a new album, which I'm desparate to get my hands on. I can legally do the following:

Buy the album on CD at a premium
Download the album to my pc/mobile at a reduced cost
Listen to the album for free via spotify (which may convince me to buy it)

Bruce Willis has a new film out so I have to do the following:

Go to the cinema to watch it and pay again if I want to watch it again
Wait 6 months to buy/Rent it on DVD/Blu Ray
Wait a year to watch it on Sky

I want to download it now and watch it on my PC or media streamer and I will gladly pay to do this, but I can't.

I'm not advocating illegal downlownloading but the film industry needs to get with the times and listen to what people want.
