Law and Order... like the show?

**Mike Hawk** · 07-14-2009, 02:34 PM

man all i ever see is people using Torrents getting busted, use SoulSeek or another P2P thing and dont upload, the key is to not upload.

**Tonik** · 07-14-2009, 02:39 PM

You wont get sued unless they issue a subpoena, which is unlikely. Usually the letter is just a warning. I'd lay off the torrenting for a [long] while. They make blocklists and many of the programs have encryption you can use. (uTorrent and Azureus do I believe)

Also, I've heard about downloading through proxies but have no experience with it.

**ARM5280** · 07-14-2009, 03:00 PM

Why the hell would you DL Law and Order? Its on TV at anytime of the day on like six channels.

**korndawg** · 07-14-2009, 03:00 PM

Move to Cuba. I don't use torrents for this very reason. Warez and rapidshare only for me.

**Zapper2003** · 07-14-2009, 03:04 PM

Dude. Think about this for a few minutes now, Seriously.

You downloaded LAW AND ORDER and got caught.

Irony in action? I believe it.

**Zapper2003** · 07-14-2009, 03:05 PM

I've been issued a warning, i used a private site and still got caught. The trackers probably were from a non private source, it was dumb what I DL'd as well. I should of waited for the DVD, owell.

My roommate has gotten 1 warning and the other has had 2-3. I'm not too worried about it, a bit, but owell.

I'll let you know when i have a billion dollar fine for this shit..
