EVERYONE has illegal shit on their comp in one shape or form (the way laws are now it's retarded, internet laws are in a state of flux and decision right now and probably won't be the same in 5-10 years) the way they can know, is that companies flag certain names of things and then the ISP/wifi controllers just scan through everything thats comes in and goes out. Usually its brand new shit that MPAA or RIAA thinks they are losing money on the initial release of. So stay away from new and popular stuff. (i got a letter from charter isp when moon 2009 was DL/UL'd and it was when the movie was brand spanking new on DVD) | ||

it makes mad that they picked her of all people. I mean, they can't monitor these things, so they have to selective check people's download history right? I can't imagine they actually have a record of all the illegal download because then half of the college students would not have internet. | ||

I think it's BS that the school even gives a crap. It's not like anything is going to happen to them... | ||

Bit Torrent is a bad way to go as far as stealing shit. I think everyone got spoiled that we were able to get away with it for so long. Look into Rapidshare/Megaupload communities to get what you need. Oh btw don't say "absolutely needed," because unless it was the software for her dialysis machine there is an open source program that is better than what she wanted. Maybe she really needed to play Mass Effect. | ||
