Threat to turn me in to authorities for illegal downloading (should I be worried?)

[megabyteme]

The cops would have a really hard time getting a judge to issue a warrant based on that.
I'd absolutely ignore it.

This.

There is ABSOLUTELY no child pornography (or even pornography in general) involved so for this matter I will take you guy's advice and ignore

tell her to have her cunt removed so she will be less cuntie

I believe the correct term is cunt-like. Or perhaps cuntile...

I still like this idea, gonna have to remember that (then run like hell after telling my wife she might need surgery)

I don't believe you are correct.

In Sweden the police knows that many people are sharing things they are not suppose to but they are not very interested in busting people for it. Only way to get a fine is if a private company requests an investigation from a pretty recent authority and the person they are looking for has an ISP that saves traffic data (but i think that it has only happened very few times to set examples).

or you could tell her this

(X-girl friends name input here), let's face it. And I'm not being funny. I mean no disrespect, but you're a cunt. You're a cunt now, and you've always been a cunt. And the only thing that's going to change is that you're going to be an even bigger cunt. Maybe have some more cunt kids.

Wow and I thought my ex was an ass. I'd just say fuck off and walk away. Maybe block her from everything so she can't bug you and enjoy your movies and music even more knowing it would piss her off.

get all ur HDD(a system one as well) truecrypted (key+password) and forget about it.
no hard evidence- no nothing.

[TONiC]

You'd be better of DBANing whatever HDDs are in question. The whole TC thing is great for protection, but the police can make your life hell if you don't give them the password. I was given a lecture by the regional internet crimes officer, and he said they'd get you for obstruction of justice. Ofcourse you could consent for the popo to bruteforce the disk, but why not just give them a pefectly clean disk to begin with?

There are actually two other very important questions which you've not asked. I don't know whether that's because you haven't thought of them or because you have (and you've realised we can't answer them).

1. How likely is the 'snitch' to follow through with the threatened action?

2. Since the police won't even investigate that specific allegation, how likely would the snitch be to embellish it?
