I even thought I could get around around it by deleting the torrent off of utorrent as soon as it was done downloading. They still busted me. Luckily this was all in my old roommates name since he was the one who had the account in his name. Some internet providers are anal about it and some aren't. I also got caught downloading the new indiana jones movie over a year ago.

Yeah, I've downloaded a few movies from Torrents, but I've tried not to abuse it. It's just a matter of time before they completely shut it down though.

I do it all the time I download every show and movie out there I do it because first that way I skip commercial and second I watch them at whatever time I want I just got used to it I have a DVD recorder but use it for other shows and games not the tv shows...

And with movies well I do it with the ones not worth going to movies.... but yeah I see how it can be dangerous if your internet provider can check your IP if that's teh case use an IP blocker program so you have no IP adress when you download.

I don't think it will never shut down technology moves way to fast and people that want to cut ways allways find a new way to do it... if it didn't get shot down after napster I don't see it happenning.


500 Days of summer was good but I expect more of that movie heard rave reviews of it liked the format but at the end it just didn't do it all the way for me.

Check out Usenet. The SSL protocol is worth the monthly subscription to a Usenet provider.
