So my girlfriend downloaded some shitty movie called the bounty hunter on Sunday, and not long after, i received an email from TPG saying that we had illegally downloaded that movie using a torrent etc etc.

Should i be worried? i thought the idea of torrents was that it was not traceable due to it only being a small part of the movie from each source...

Also i often stream TV shows like breaking bad, True blood etc from a site (http://www.casttv.com) is this also illegal? it's a TV show that is broadcast in the US so i would have thought not, but i guess we are not seeing the ads so maybe its not paid for???
also i am not downloading them, i am streaming them so im not then copying them.

I would start stretching those upper leg muscles mate. You are going to the clink for shiz.

I read about the Torrent tracing somewhere - I didn't understand it becuase I got no geek on, but my take on it was that due to some change in the laws they are now allowed to trace users of sites that are known to be illegally sharing materials. This might be it.

use private trackers.

or try using TOR and configure your torrent client to run thru it. slows things down a bit tho.

i wouldnt worry about the letter

hut?

We are both on Macs, is that PC talk/programs, She uses transmission for torrents and i think the site was kickasstorrents.com

do not reply to the letter

If TPG took these emails seriously they would have no more customers.... what else would people use 130GB per month for??

They are under an obligation to warn you to cover the'r own asses if serious shit goes down

Well that's a sign of quality right there.

tor is an project that helps network users remain somewhat anonymous on public networks like the internet.

get to know; it's a good project.

as has been previously said, don't reply to the letter.

awesome thank system, ill look into this

al, torrents = fail.

rapid.org/rapidshare for single day downloads and no tracing.

do it...

FUCK TPG/NETSPACE

I use megashares.com - is that the same sort of deal Bonsai?

$25 for 6 months of unlimited d/l Al - check it out.

never had any issues like the above using this

demonoid's aight. and yeah use filtering in your torrent client like vuze (usually on by default i think)..
if on mac use PeerGuardian that's what i use, stops all unwanted incoming connections to your comp

C'mon, it's kick ass! That means it's awesome.

I has the same letter months ago.

My IT mate told me to install a tor, he set up a blog on it, I'll try and find it and post it for you.

If you run the tor through utorrent it doesn't slow it down at all, it only slows it down when you run it through firfox

filestube ftw

eek!

Hope the Tor holds up!

Was a fucking shit film anyway. Probably trying to make some money because everyone realised it was a really shit slow movie and the only reason it won an Oscar was becasue it stired up army driven nationalist pride in the USA.

Eat a bag of dicks hurt locker, the oscars and USA!

Think i might share a Usenet account with a few peeps or something.
