Illegal Downloading

[BenWall]

How do people get caught? Because if they track how much illegal stuff goes down your IP I'm screwed!

I have downloaded over 200GB of music :S

Well posting about it on a forum won't help!

Posting about it wont help.

I think basically they try and take out some of the huge sharers/downloaders to discourage others.

I'm guessing every thing you do is logged on your ISP, and if some one reports you for downloading they can look into it.

Haha

Already have been :-( . Got an e-mail from Orange saying they are going to suspend my services if i go over the 2 GB bandwidth this month.

But they didn't say nothing about illegal files lol Guess they think i just look at alot of pictures.

Don't think they can look into the actual files you download, just what type of traffic ie p2p in general.

A 13 year old girl in America was sued for $12m for illegally downloading music files. She couldnt pay it in the end, surprisingly, so was sued for something more reasonable. 200GB to be honest is small fry compared to what happens in the US. Although saying that, expect a rat a tat tat off the Sheriff in the next couple of hours. Just dont answer the door

 

[BenWall]

Lol i never said that the 200GB was illegal s**t. Could be 200GB of free fonts for all you know

 

[BenWall]

Am I right in guessing that newsgroups are safer than networks such as Kazaa?

 

[Scutch]

Good point, but I'd recommend changing your original post to say that instead of 200GB of music.

 

[BenWall]

I cant now but its all legit from iTunes lol

 

[Scutch]

lol. Good man

Seriously though, I wouldnt worry about it. There'll be well over a billion people in a bigger world of worry than you

 

[Harry182]

I-tunes it great but i'd never pay for p**n.....

 

[Nigel]

If you were using torrents how could they tell what you were downloading was illegal? Some freeware and shareware is available via torrents?

Oops beaten to it!

 

[BenWall]

good point. im not too worried. Like scutch says they will be plently of ppl that are downloading music by the TBs for there market stall etc.

 

[terribleclio]

i was under the impression from that girl in the states that got arrested that downloading wasn't illegal, but it was the sharing the downloaded files that is.

 

[BenWall]

It makes sense, they sniff out whats in your shared folder. As soon as I have downloaded something I move it to a different drive, but there are some people that have thousands of songs shared. They know no better.

I'm sure ISP's can see people downloading massive amounts of data like Films (few gig at a time) very rare for any other reason for downloading this much data except for illegal copied stuff.

Maybe things are being putt into place to montior the internet because it is becoming less and less a freedom of speech etc to stop these things in the future.

The problem now is for copy protection bodies is that Xbox Live is now offering film/TV downloads (and sky?) so people can now justify massive downloads!

This rises another problem in the ISP world of download caps!

Phew I thought I could hear the rat a tat tat of the po-po outside my door. Even though I've only done about 500megs of free fonts this month.

Our anti-piracy guys used to put files out and track them, don't know what they do now.
