Does Virgin Media police itself first? 

,----[ Quote ]
| Hanff quotes the interview verbatim, and we 
| reproduce it here: "Ex-Employee: 'Telewest 
| Broadband had an Intranet system called 
| oneline - accessible at 
| http://oneline.telewest.co.uk - the default 
| homepage. Under this site employees could 
| visit Broadtalk - Broadtalk Forum, where 
| they could engage in discussion about the 
| company across departments, across sites. 
| Under this forum various topics of 
| discussion revolved around downloading of 
| copyrighted material - for example, 
| employees would talk about downloading 
| movies, music etc, along with how to 
| transfer files to DVD media. Employees were 
| posting links to BitTorrent sites with 
| infringing material'."

,----[ Quote ]
| Virgin broadband has started serving up advertising, instead of empty pages,
| when the domain you were looking for turns out not to be there.
