How Much Is Your Stolen Music Worth?

[CalcuoCuchicheo]

After reading an article at Davey D's - I'm trying to post the link but there's something fucked up right now - I wondered if anyone on the board has ever got into trouble with any institution (police, RIAA etc) for their downloads or know of anyone who has.

Also, how the hell do they 'catch' you?

i've heard they lurk on programs like Kazza an view your available files folder, find what their looking for then contact your isp an issue a sepena.

i read in some magazine that they did some shit and now have the right to put trojan like programs into MP3's and such to help trace and find people downloading illegally. Only problem I see with that is, their computers would fuckin fry after so many IP's came into their comp lol..

why can't you just d/l tha songs, put em on a cd, then delete them

I'm in the process of doing this but really, you can understand the accessibility reasons for keeping shit on yuor computer.

I downloaded a movie off of bit torrent and someone contacted my IP about it and my internet got cut off, never got fined or anything.
