    I was also thinking about it but then I realized that donating money to a site like that could very well cause legal problems for me if the site were to be taken down by the authorities. They would probably get all the logs with all the IPs but I'm sure that the list of NAMES of users who donated through Paypal would be even more useful to them.

    No, I've never donated before.

    So many people classify donating as paying to leech, but you have to remember that the site owners have server costs, too.

    the only two sites worth donating to are sct and oink, and thats because you cant donate to buy upload credit, and donating doesnt exempt you from ratio requirements.

    long live sct and oink!

    The MPAA and FBI have no jurisdiction to access your paypal information without your concent prior to what you may beleive.
    They can however get your ip if they were to seize a server thats hosting a tracker. But in most cases the owners of sites knowing they are acctually one of the main people at risk ussually have the servers hosted outside of legal jurisdiction.
    I had a visit wont say what type but...
    I still donate to sites (other than my own) quite frequently.
