Actually....movies, especially new releases and many of the older ones released on DVD are being hosted on google, veoh, stage6, youtube and many other video sites.

Sure you can download it from a torrent....or you can stream it straight from those video sites.

Granted, most of them are taken down with 48 hours....but they're still there, and a LOT of users download them to their computers.

Should our ISP throttle back that as well even though most of the videos hosted on those sites are legal?
