It is interesting that most of the people complaining about this are saying that the bandwidth cap should be lifted. The technology to offer the unlimited bandwidth to a large community of users may not be dramatically expensive anymore, but that is not the only cost involved.
There are staffing expenses, electrical, and others. If you don't like what they are doing vote with your feet and go somewhere else, but don't whine because you can't download multi-gigabyte files that are illegal in the first place.
To the users who say that there are other legal P2P applications on the web: good. Now all you have to do is find some way to filter the copyrighted material from the other users. What? That's draconian you say? Well, why should you be allowed to get for free what other people have spent a lot of time and money producing?
