:It's not necessarily true that someone who down loads 100 gigabytes a month is pirating copyright material. There are a lot of services on the Internet that will eat up bandwidth. Some services that can use a lot of bandwidth are (1) streaming radio (XM, Cirrus, iTunes radio, etc) that is streaming at or above 156 Kbps; (2) down loading legal paid for DVD’s (porn, old movies, etc) at 4 gigs a pop; (3) downloading high quality TV shows from iTunes or other similar services; (4) downloading high quality movies from Netflix or Blockbuster online services; (5) using VOIP, online gaming, watching videos from Youtube, Yahoo, etc.
The day is soon coming where 100 gig usage is normal. We are using the Internet more and more for routine stuf.
Yes, for the most part it is true that anyone downloading 100+ gigs a month is pirating. I do all of the above, plus I also stream live TV via my slingbox, and I have never done more than 20 gigs in a given month. My usual consumption is less than 10 gigs in fact. There is no reason to defend stealing unless you are doing it yourself.....
