Yes, you are right, IPSs don't want every customer using up all their bandwidth day and night to down-up-load data, BUT they sell it, always, in this vain: "It goes this fast that you can download 10 movies an hour unlike our rival, which speed only allows for 5!!" (true sale banter!).

But not just internet providers, also computers/accessories sellers: how many adverts are out there telling us that their newest computer has a 2 Tb HD, which will "let you store" thousands of songs or hundreds of HD videos"?
Since only a tiny minority of wealthy people actually owns 'thousands of records or DVDs", the implication is that to take full advantage of their wonderful toys (and justify their sale to you of a new toy), you 'must' access illegally cloned material. There are not so many musicians/movie makers out there needing to store their own original material!! The rest is stolen.

It is definitely an instigation to crime. Just it is.

But movies and records are sold and made by "dirty capitalist pigs, banks and corporations", so it is right to steal from them. Actually morally acceptable. A duty even. ***locks.
