Ever been caught using torrents?

The only way not to get caught is not to do it,get yourself peerguardian and don't go round bragging to all and sundry about what you're doing.
The big guns aren't interested in little fish like us,life would be so boring without some risk involved,so just say "fuck it" and go for it.

I got an email form my ISP, Telus in Canada saying that the motion picture association, or someone representing them had requested info on me because the pinned me downloading "the pianist"
That was about 2 months before suprnova got shut down so I think the heat was on at that time. Fortunately Telus told them to bugger off as they keep their clients Identities unless forced to release by a court order, which at least for the moment will not happen in Canada.


Anyways like everything else in life its only a crime if you get caught, so enjoy the free ride while it lasts.

Forget Peerguardian- once the RIAA or MPAA get on a torrent swarm (easy to do),
they can see everyone else's ip address. I use Stompsoft's StealthSurfXtreme (costs
around $29) . Easy to turn on and off and hides your ip address. I tried Anonx, then
Findnot.. they worked, but cut download speeds badly and sometimes disconnected at the wrong times. Stealthsurf cuts download speed in half (with 5mb/s hispeed DSL I'm
still in great shape ) . Peerguardian can stop the bad guys from peeking into your
shared file (used by other p2p protocols, NOT bit torrent) .

i dont think anyone would be here anymore if they got sued. Hopefully now.

Abu, these dont help with Bittorrent, protowall is just another peerguardian/ip blocker.

Inkmaker, do you know how stealthsurf works, I cant see how it can work with BT

Lol @ brotherdoobie

My ISP was contacted once when I was downloading a torrent. The ISP told me to stop, I removed the torrent, and nothing more has come of it so far. It was on PirateBay - not a private tracker.

Never been caught and as a matter of fact my ISP sells the higher speed package, citing p2p as a reason to pay for the plus. I don't think I'll have anything to worry about for now. Although a local guy did get busted for downloading music off of LimeWire, but I've never heard anything in regards to anyone being busted in bittorrent.
