It's never a good idea to download new movies/albums from public trackers so I would avoid doing that as well. | ||

So no fek
United States3001 Posts
I was busted for downloading tv shows, both on highly seeded torrents either after they were leaked early (a season 5 episode of The Wire) or the night after they aired (Friday Night Lights). So I assumed that it was reported to my ISP by the respective owners, but the weird thing about it was that you had to click a link on your browser after you deleted the file to restart your service. First time I had clicked it without even really thinking, and it didn't restart my service yet, because it said I hadn't removed the file. | ||

Any way they can know that you haven't deleted a file is an intrusion to your privacy and probably illegal. These people LOVE fighting fire with fire, and should be prosecuted to hell and back... if we lived in a just world. | ||

ea just tends to majorly fuck users by not patching glitches, issuing otherwise good games that are killed because there was zero testing to find bugs, etc etc.... | ||

I've been downloading since 2005 of Isohunt, and I've never received a warning. I have AT&T, and a pretty shitty connection to boot(80 Kb/s download). I mostly download DVD rips, musical albums, and occasionally some PC games. I was actually thinking of downloading Dead Space soon. . | ||

However, they want me to remove any torrent clients I have. Really dumb imo because I use utorrent for legal things as well. But whateva makes them happy and keeps me safe from da law. | ||

Mostly from the result of me being stupid and not having patience to wait for things to come to private sites so i wandered into mininova and shit of the like. Seriously stay away from public trackers if at all possible. About the deleting infringing material part, its pretty bullshit. They told me to delete the documentary and I didn't. It's not like they are going to send the police to your house and see if you have a fucking movie on your computer or anything. It's all scare tactics. If anything these letters are worse for them because you just end up getting smarter about downloading and become even more elusive, so ironic... | ||

From the ISP's perspective, they want to keep you as a customer. They also don't want you to get sued because it'll cost them time and money to respond to subpoenas for logs, plus it's bad publicity. If you shift your downloading to private sources, that's a win for the ISPs too. | ||

And why can your ISP forward your connection data to other companies without an order from a court order? Are privacy laws really that bad in the US? | ||

Typically, the rights owner will discover someone infringing their copyrights and inform the ISP. The ISP will then figure out who is responsible and tell him/her to delete the infringing material, stop downloading illegally, etc. I don't think any ISPs have coughed up their customers' information without a court order, but I'm also not aware of any privacy laws that would prevent them from doing so. Does Germany have a law that protects the privacy of your IP address, and if so, what recourse would you have if an ISP revealed it? | ||
