Perhaps if the industry wasn't still giving us messages such as "This content is not available in your country" on web-exclusive content, then we wouldn't have any reason to consider alternative means.

Re: Music fans back legal downloads

Warnings from an ISP go further in that it is inferred your actual internet access is at risk, and as you personally have been warned, then civil action is also possible

I am taking an Intellectual Property module in my final year. Actually the lecture is in an hour so I need to get moving 10 minutes into the first lecture I have ascertained that we are all bastards for downloading and will say anything to legitimise what we firmly know to be a wrong. Cannot argue with that
