Nonsense. As long as no one is hogging the entire pipe, and thus slowing down everyone else, they could care less.

All you have to do is stream the download slow enough that it takes a few hours to download, and no ISP would notice or care. This isn't VOD, but it is still several orders of magnitude faster than postal delivery.
