Is this meant to be a trick question?

Netflix, LoveFilm, online viewing - faster streaming.

Digital game downloads and patch upgrades, for example, the new World of Warcraft, Mists of Pandora, beta version is a whopping 19 Gb in size.

So there is plenty of legitmate things to do with a 100Mb broadband connection. ALL legal content can be downloaded a hell of a lot quicker than a 10Mb connection.

Just for the record, I do not necessarily agree with the blocking, I think it is a waste of time and resources, as there are thousands of other sites like it out there, blocking one website will not change anything one iota.
