    I got pushed into filesharing (Limewire/DC++) by DRM on movies and music. If I couldn't rip my own CDs to make copies/mixed Cds for myself and rip rented movies to watch when I wanted to, then so be it. That naturally evolved into torrents, not because I had any trouble finding the right files using Gnutella and DC, but simply ease of use once the basics were in place.

    Not to mention that ordering a CD would often take up to two months to arrive and all video stores combined had maybe 6-7 copies of the most popular new movies. Living in a small secluded country isn't always that great.

    Nowadays, there are more trackers than there are members, so if your tracker misbehaves, they get bookmark removed, or worse, URL deleted.

    I fail to understand this. Many people use other filesharing networks/protocols as their main one, and they know what they're downloading, too.

    The poster is probably used to using that excuse when the spouse figure inquires about the filipino tarsier autoerotic asphyxiation & scat videos.

    why = one reason= greed !! (and kaza was famous for distributing virus)

    How= Accidentally , read on...

    i was in need of a software, my friend told me over the phone that he knows a place where i will get that software & i don't even have to pay for it
    he instructed me over the phone , go to a site supernova.org ...do this go there... blah blah blah.. now save the file, damn, i saved it was on KB file was just surprised how a 100+mb file became kb
    He told, "you got the whole file but its compressed & encrypted". then he suggested me to go to some some & download the software, bit-torrent, icon is like purple color jokers hat, almost no interface (GUI), and then made me open the .torrent files in that.
    He told me that small softwares will decrypt the whole file for me, but i have be connected to internet. .. lolz
