"And besides, downloading TV shows IS illegal*, it says so in the credits of the shows (watch them, you'll get the same MPAA warning that's in movies)"Judt because it's in the credits doesn't make it true. Look up all the lawsuiots involving EULA."Excellent point. The BMW dealership near me just expanded so tonight I'm going to steal a car from it.They are doing well and won't mind the missing car."What if I copy the car and then buy it later? Haven't people learned that intellectual property is different than real property and should be treated differently?
My ISP just terminated my internet because HBO contacted them about me. Guess what show I got busted with...Rome. I was a paying subscriber of HBO until a few weeks back but I was hooked on their shows. After digging for information in a phone call with my USP, they informed me that this has been happening often with HBO. They told me I could write an apology letter to the infringement people at HBO at which point HBO usually contacts the ISP and says whether or not I can have my services back. So basically, my ISP would take that strike off my record and let me have the internet back. They said it works 95% of the time.

Does any one know of a forum in which you can discuss the quality of torrents.Such as posting of just s**tty torrents? This way you can check and see if others have reported it, instead of wasting your time.If not, you all are welcome here... -> <a class="user" href="http://www.m4tt3r.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewforum&f=16">http://www.m4tt3r.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewforum&f=16</a>
