Now plese stop trying to defend the undefendable.
I am not going to reply to you any more.

No it is not a legal obligation to comply with that Pragma, it's not even an obligation within the HTTP standard.
ntl's caches may well have been treating your content in the manner I described - verifying it with the origin server then serving some content from the cache - you have no way to know this is the case or not without having detailed logs of the transactions.
I can defend whatever I wish, sticking your fingers in your ears and singing 'I can't hear you' because you can't back up your points merely undermines your arguments, not mine. You clearly didn't know how cache control works and made a blanket statement which you can't cite any kind of proof for.

I suppose copyright law might apply.

It's not a requirement of HTTP that that meta is respected, HTTP 1.1 cache-control headers are an obligation.

Ignoring the rest of it as there has been no legal precedent I'm aware of in the UK on these matters - legal precedent in the US is that caching is 'fair use' regardless of code within the websites.
Breaking T+Cs is not illegal, if these copyright lawyers of yours are telling you this they are quite mistaken. It may leave a civil suit open but it is most certainly not against the law.
I look forward, with interest, to seeing how this pans out, presumably in court.
