How paranoid are you?

I don't really want a lot of "I use a seedbox/VPN to get all my downloads its really secure (its not)" as that tends to get rather stagnant and repetitive quickly...

So to all us home downloaders out there: how paranoid are you?

What measures do you take to insure that you don't get "caught" or get an infringement notice?

Do you avoid downloading from larger sites like Demonoid or TL? Do you avoid CAM releases like the plague? Would you have downloaded something like the X-Men leak?

Perhaps more importantly, do you even think its worth it to take precautions? Do you believe that downloading from a more "secure" and "rarer" site would really make a difference? Would you give a fuck if your ISP sent you a infringement notice?

So the question is, to what extent would you go to to mask your activities?

- I use some TrueCrypt volumes
- I'm into TL, but I don't download very much.
- I hate cam

Whats all this...Here back in India,No one gets any notice.:happy:
I have been using torrents for years now..never received any kinda notice.
And talking about piracy..Pirated Dvd's are sold out in the streets and even the cops are pretty chilled about this..

:D

I really don't care, since in Canada they currently don't give a fuck. If our PM manages to pass that copyright bill through parliament then perhaps I'll start taking security measures.

For the moment I really don't care. Romania is still a stable country concerning torrents although politicians try to take some drastic measures in order to attract votes for their candidates.

@sez wtf is stream :D? what do you mean by that?

Its homosexual to download if you have the option to stream :unsure:

i really don't care ether.. Im not afraid im my country don't give a shit for now....

-I don't download from public trackers or big private trackers like TL and I don't use p2p programs like Limewire.

i'll only take measures if i get a letter from my ISP.

Not paranoid at all. I've recived a letter from my Isp about 4 years ago or so for downloading "Tupac resurection" and my brother warned me to not download anytihng again.

What did I do? I downloaded another movie the next day.
I did so because I know they can't do shit about it. There's probably millions of Optimum online users in NYC and 90% of them download illegally

I'm not gonna lie though. Once when I smoked weed(i dont smoke weed much so it's effects are strong on me) I started thinking about BT and I remember being paranoid and thinkingthat I was being watched and the feds were waiting for the perfect moment to bust me.

It was terible..that's why i hate smoking weed
