| I imagine that they (KC) will get a warning on thier system when someone had downloaded a lot of stuff, then they will go on to check, so moderate d/l should not be a problem

That's where the problem lies, TPB are currently (although might have finished now) involved in a very high profile court case.

| You will find that it is not Karoo that are warning (well they are but...) all torrent sites are now being monitored by some new software (it is flawed as well) now when this company that runs the software see something illegal being downloaded they then inform the ISP who then act upon the information.
Karoo have already stopped immediate disconnection article here rlkaroo article hdmrl

| Bunch of thieving s the lot of you, cant understand why people would want to download illegally & then boast about not been caught. How is that any different to nicking a DVD out of a shop or buying pirate DVD's off the Walton street market?
Still wont be long before you get letters through the door for a court appearance

As member of BASCA, I just view this as theft.

Which is spread amongst many millions of people's wages that are affected by this.
If illegal downloading carries on in this vein and with the average bandwith increasing in the UK in the near future it will impact even further the income of ALL industries connected to the film industry not just the big filmaker companies.
Obviously those companies that have had to lay off workers because people are stealing money from them & having to tighten their belts even more..still it's okay because it's just a bit of downloading
Makes me so angry every time I come to Hull to see thousands of illegal DVDs openly been sold & nothing done about it

So just a single example then. How come a video cassette is far more expensive to make than a DVD yet the DVD costs far more?
I can make a DVD for around 20p. How much are they knocking them out at?
For years theyve had free reign to rip off the consumer at will. A monopoly on every movie you want to watch. Now the tables are turned they don't like it. I say to them....Diddums.......... And hoist that Jolly Roger up that mast!

Yes blank DVD's are now much cheaper in the shops than ever but add in ALL the costs in film making and I think you'll find it's a shed load more than your knock off Nigel DVD's
