Hi Chris,

As far as I know, its illegal (copyrighted) content only, however the =
FAQ put out by internetNZ (3strikes.net.nz) suggests avoiding all P2P =
activity, to be on the safe side.

A great number of people are downloading their linux iso's offshore, and =
then downloading them to NZ via other protocols. Feel free to contact me =
off list for more information =3D)

Cheers,
Dan
