theoretically is the key word. A good firewall program will help, but if your using a P2P file sharing program you've opened up ports by the very use of that program. All it would take in a monitoring bot in that program to report who and what was being shared.

and that is how they caught thousands of kazaa users for piracy. good point.

They cant possibly prosecute us...the only way they can catch us if they see our IP's on Bittorrent or IRC (the only 2 services where IP's are public)

and then suing us for copyright by invading our privacy our constituitional rights......
I havent downloaded ANY music in months sure 1 or 2 songs but they only go after guys distributing thousands of songs

after filtering through the bs i saw the light pro..
good thinking! 8)

very slick.. be sure to take your music with you...

and monitering bot in english someone?

ANECDOTE!!!!!! :

someone i happen to be in contact with... downloads in the neighbor hood of 1 or 2 thousand songs a week. a little over half a year ago he got a letter saying he needed to "stop downloading imediately" he still does, but nothings happened. are the bluffing or did they forget OR are they slow at it?

1 or 2 thousand a week.. that's obscene and crazy.. he must have a music bot or something..even at 1000, that's 142 songs a day...
