Kazaa: I have not run it in about 2 months so that might be why It was not brought up.

File Names?
Curious.

Quite True. Although the ISP&#39;s such as Cox and others will only give you a warning, and if you get three, shut you down.

On this board nowadays leechers are the most honoured users... but it is just my thoughts: I&#39;ve been here quite a long time (allmost a year) to notice that the board is slowly becoming degraded...

As I use Cox Communications as my ISP, I was especially interested in reading this post.

I found this on the COX website:

Does Using A File Sharing Application Violate the Cox Acceptable Use Policy (AUP)?
No, using a peer-to-peer file sharing program to download files does not in itself violate the AUP. If your software is already configured not to share files to other users, you should not have a problem. Please visit support.cox.net for more information and instructions for securing most common file sharing programs.

From what I read, this means they won&#39;t do a thing. Although, I am awaiting a response to an email I sent them.

I believe that Cox is in the same boat as every other ISP in the world.
They receive a "threatening" letter from; the RIAA, MPAA, et al, they don&#39;t give up any personal information, and then warn said subscriber.

There-in lies the problem. (I wish more of you would read this, as I&#39;ve posted this before) Whether or not to give out this personal information. That&#39;s being argued in the US courts right now and, I&#39;m sure, soon will happen in other countries.

Don&#39;t be afraid to share files. An ISP giving out personal information, for now, is a legal gray area...(here in the US)

Share on my friends...

Crap, I have Cox Cable Internet. Stupid RIAA and other media got to them.

Cox cant have a problem with it. A couple months ago i got an email which had this in it:

"- What Might Cause My Account To Use Excessive Bandwidth?
1. Often a peer-to-peer file sharing application such as KaZaa, Morpheus or Gnutella may be the problem. These programs operate as file servers by default and offer files from your hard drive to other Internet users, possibly causing your account to use excessive bandwidth without your knowledge. "

I got the email because i uploaded 1.11GB in one day, which is over te 1GB limit. They aren&#39;t saying its illegal or anything. Of course, that was 2 months ago
