After discovering my ISP has some "terms and conditions" with what their customers decide to do on the internet, I realised that I had broke a lot of it and should be issued a "formal warning" by them.

Here's some examples of what I have to abide by when I'm on the web:

4.1. You are prohibited from storing, distributing, transmitting or causing to
be published any Prohibited Material through your use of the Services. Examples of "Prohibited Material" shall be determined by us (acting in our sole discretion) and shall include (but are not limited to) material that:

4.1.1. is threatening, harassing, invasive of privacy, defamatory, racist, obscene, indecent, offensive, abusive, harmful or malicious;
4.1.5. chain letters or pyramid selling schemes; and
4.1.6. programs containing viruses, hoaxes or any tools designed to compromise the security of other websites and/or systems. However, you may pass samples of malware in a safe manner to appropriate agencies for the purpose of combatting its spread.
4.2. For the avoidance of doubt, the storage upon and/or distribution over our systems by any User of "pirated" software, or any other materials that are not expressly licensed to the User, will constitute a violation of this section 4 of the AUP.

Other terms include posting racist remarks on a Usenet board, or even taking part in a chain letter.

I don't see how it is justified or fair, what a bunch of bastards!

woah thats stuff people do everyday

Bullcrap! Egg their asses!

This is the biggest piece of crap I've seen all day...... except that Japanese air sex video.

You are paying to use whatever you paid for. So you should be free to do whatever you want to do with whatever you bought or paying a subscription. I hope at the Carlyle Group will make it better whe they eventually buy Virgin!

These are more like moral guidelines.

Actually it would be good if you followed them. Not downloading pirated stuff is normal for ISP agreements so is the virus part. The others are bit restrictive and take away liberties.
