I believe Paramount Pictures is just out to get you. They have been planning it in their secret caves since the birth of time. "We must have retribution and defeat the monster that is LiMeY!"

Uhm, you were probably using bit torent, and Torrents are very easy to track.

With almost any client other than actually bit torent you just hit one mousey click and you can see every IP downloading from the torrent. :)

And if you were on Kazaa, the media companies undoubtly have a program that can do something similiar with that protocal. So... bleh.

They always lag behind when acting on pirates; it gives them more against the person. Its quite sneaky really, kinda like letting a person think they got away with speeding so they rack up several speeding fines before finding out, then they lose their license! ;)

If you don't share your not doing anything illegal... my advice, just turn off sharing on any d/ling program you have. :/

The key to solving the piracy problem isn't to sue people, its to change the public's opinion.

Just like with the whole "games cause kids to kill" claim; the solution isn't to ban the games, its to encourage parents to not let their 8 year old boy to play MANHUNT and have access to semi-automatic firearms! :|

People seem to think that over-legislation and litigation are the solution to everything these days... what happened to the "land of the free"?

I would pay for the stuff but its a joke when a movie can be up to $90-100 on DVD and a cd with 10 songs can be $30 :) a 15 yr old kid just can't afford to spend that much on something when its so easy to download

.. here's a lot of stuff about law, the titles of movies and files he shared, dates etc. So they can basically see everything you do.
