He wasn't a distributor, although he admitted he was quite a heavy user.

I reckon they look at bandwidth outliers.

How long ago was that?

Question for the rest - would a VPN prevent this?

Are you serious? Did they pick this up in other matters (i.e. a vice or drug raid)? That's how it used to happen in the days of obscene VCD's anyways.
