Megaupload shut down

[knock]

I dunno, Torrents are free and I've never heard of anyone who knows what (and if you can use a Newsgroup it's likely you know enough) they are doing receiving a letter. It's all scare tactics, and that can even be seen through the entire Hurtlocker thing - no one was even charged to the best of knowledge? And if anyone was the list was significantly reduced. If you're using a very public torrent tracker and downloading the latest movie I would expect one, but that's down to stupidity.

Yes. Even if you ARE stupid the chances are slim. As I said I'm on a STATIC IP address which is about as stupid for anonymity as it gets, it makes me totally traceable and I've been downloading (torrents, eDonykey etc) - albeit fairly moderately - for years, and I've never been pulled up.

Totally agree with you. (It's about time )
