viet129 I would first tell him to get lost and find somewhere else to film. Then remind him is actually illegal to film concerts without prior consent. You paid to watch the concert not to help him with his filming!

viet129 It is possible for an Internet provider to do that but only if there are limits on the kind of service you have. I download lots of movies and software but don't have any limits set. If there were, I would change to a different Internet provider.
