where did you download it from?

Piratebay.org

I don't even know what the word is for how much I've downloaded. What ever is after gigs.

Not a single thing, because it's not illegal.

What ISP are you using? EA can eat a dick, they publish shitty games. They should grow some balls and start producing real games that fans actually want to buy.

How does your ISP or EA know you downloaded that game?

I've been busted for downloading twice, and my ISP has a 3 strike policy, so I've cut out downloading, for the most part.

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.

So I just called my ISP.

Apparently since the account isn't under my name I don't have to talk to them about shit.

But my dad does. LOL FUCK MY LIFE.

if EA has access to see what files are on his computer they can also probably see his internet history maybe its a bad idea to post what weve torrented

Breakin' the law. I've never had this problem, but you're one of the unlucky people that gets to tell this story. Just be happy you're not the one person a year they pick out to fine millions of dollars just so they can scare the general population.

No, but I might make a copy of it so both me and the original owner could enjoy it. And then later pay the artist who designed it money when I realised I really like their work and want them to do more.

What's immoral is how long copyright lasts after an author dies. I don't mind if J.K. Rowling's kids are filthy rich, but her grandchildren, and her grandchildren's children... They can work. And nuts to the studio after 40 years too.

If anything these letters are worse for them because you just end up getting smarter about downloading and become even more elusive, so ironic...

Do you see the difference? Why so many people from the US have so much trouble writing properly?

Try to keep in mind 2 things:

1. This forum is not your IM.

2. There are people here who are not native english speakers and might have trouble reading your posts.

Calling the ISP and admitting you did something illegal doesn't sound wise to me.
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?

My sister got caught for using LimeWire as well. Somehow they came up with being able to fine her roughly $500 per song, and she eventually had to settle for $5000. And I am not trolling. Do not fuck around with this shit.

And, it wasn't the "one person a year", or whatever that garbage was. They also opened lawsuits on 131 other people.

I have downloaded a lot of games from demonoid.com and never got caught. I would stick with demonoid for games when it comes up and just stop downloading games altogether unless you find a private tracker.

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