1371410 2014-03-27 06:15:00 We all four of us watch nearly every TV program we want to see on demand so it's not illegal but we don't all want to watch the same thing at the same time gary67 (56)

Yes - but those prices don't compare well with Netflix's monthly fee for as many movies as you want -

1371413 2014-03-27 08:47:00 Another point is why do NEED superfast broadband?

Because with more and more people getting it, more and more websites have services which expect you to have it.

Also, lag is a leading cause of anger issues in humans.

Why do we NEED the internet at all. The world has & will function perfectly without it.
Why do we NEED PC's , cars, TV's, microwave ovens. You could easily argue MOST dont NEED any of the those
:p

We WANT superfast broadband. And you know exactly why we WANT it, Business now rely on fast internet for Cloud based services
Home users will want to stream movies at a descent res, from legitimate sites. We want fast internet to sync with dropbox etc.

The big difference between megaupload (NOT Mega) & youtube is Megaupload was used primarily for piracy, and they knew it. (just my opinion, I knew what it was being used for)
Thats why some similar sites closed themselves down just after the megaupload raid: the other similar sites knew what they were used for & owners didnt want to risk arrest.
Youtube isnt used primarily for piracy.

A more reasonable argument might be, why arnt ISP's being indited: they know exactly what home users use 50G+ data caps for
ISP's never made any effort to block access to known piracy sites & piracy portals/forums .

1371415 2014-03-28 00:46:00 They know it would be stupid to blame ISPs because that would be as stupid as blaming Seagate for selling hard drives, because we all know pirates primarily store pirated material on them. Agent_24 (57)
