I am in London (at Croydon to be precise). But pursuing A-Levels in college. Still 18 years old and I'm waaayyy fortunate that the buses and trams are free. Thank god they renew the Oyster application policy.
Isit? Does this apply the same for Young Person's account?

It was free from 16-17. But tfl recently renew the policy in such u're still entitled to free travel if u're 18 provided:

1. Full time education in London Borough.
2. U live in london borough.
3. 18 years old on 31st august and ur education started before the mentioned date.

I assume u studied in the college before where i'm currently studying tongue.gif

downloading copyrighted material is illegal everywhere. it's just a matter of enforcement. as far as i know, ISPs dont actively hunt down users downloading copyrighted materials on their services, but if they have no hesitations of cooperating with the authorities in taking u in if somebody reports about u.

there have been several instances people getting caught downloading illegal mp3s, but i have no idea how the authorities trace them down or how they acted on it.

they'll seek ur IP address and find ur service provider. then the service provider finds the address. then they come knocking on ur door and look at who's PC the IP address connects to. landlord got nothing to do with it.
