| Yup, that's why my µTorrent has been running non stop for a few weeks now. Gotta get enough to last me for awhile. ETA: quote: Everyone should have encryption turned on in their favorite BitTorrent client. This post was edited on 4/14 at 4:04 pm Reply • Back to Top |

| This is about as effective as when they started cracking down on P2P client users far after the real big pirates had switched to BitTorrent. There will always be a new method. I'm not worried. Not to mention, most major games are downloaded legally using BitTorrent methods so the ISPs are basically just talkin' that shite. frick them.

| Is it just a horrible idea to use limewire and/or torrent programs on the lsusecure network? Reply • Back to Top |
| Seriously dude are you a PR rep for the RIAA? EVERY TIME this subject comes up you are here spouting the party line. I'm not even saying you're wrong. I'm just curious about your relentless consistency, that's all. Reply • Back to Top |
| I work for an ISP and we already get notifications of when people are downloading illegal torrents. We suspend their internet if they get caught so they call in and we tell them what happened. Legally we have to; and suspending the internet acts like a shield to not allow more warnings and possible lawsuits to happen. This post was edited on 4/14 at 4:22 pm Reply • Back to Top |

quote: Most studies conclude that if anything, piracy leads to better music sales, ticket sales, and other increases in income for bands because it gives them exposure to someone who wouldn't have paid to listen for free. Also, software is the same way. I've bought games after downloading them simply because I wanted full support for it, a non-bastardized experience, and to support the developer. As a freelance developer, I wouldn't have a problem with someone pirating my software if it means they try it and enjoy my products. This means they may, again, at some point spend money on a product they wouldn't have without trying it. They lose little because they aren't losing a possible sale to someone who wouldn't have purchased it without trying it anyway. I've taken an entire class on this and a few other subjects as fluff for my tough CS classes, and the general consensus, professor included, is that no matter what your product is, people will find a way to steal it. We have to make it good enough to form that loyalty and give them a viable incentive to buy it legally. Adobe has been doing this for years, and they know how much their stuff is pirated. It also has lead to sales that wouldn't have been there. The only industry where the "artists" suffer is the movie industry, and to be honest, there's not much I want to watch enough to steal anyway so I don't. Either way, most of their shite sucks.
