[QUOTE=Cloak Raider;17972142]What happens if it's legal torrenting? I mean, I have a torrent program on my PC, and I've never downloaded anything illegal, only shit like stuff on Garry's Mod etc. How can they distinguish?[/QUOTE] Legal stuff is fine, but they can literally look at your internet history and see every page you've went to in the last two months. There are probably other ways to see what data you're downloading too. They don't really care either way, they just don't want anyone doing anything illegal with their service.

Buy the stuff they think you pirated. That way you have the license and you'll be fine. If they don't know what you downloaded, say you were downloading legal stuff (Like game modifications, I know Fortress Forever uses a torrent).

[quote=AteBitLord]Perfect example of a retarded dumbass.[/quote] I disagree, with thee.

This is why you use PeerGuardian and forget about your ISP.

Tell Verizon to fuck off. (oh and force-encrypt your connection[s]).

Verizon wont do anything. Something like this happened to me before, just because a company got your IP and "apparently" was told by another company that you could have been pirating something, so they were forced to email you. Long story short, your fine.

If american charge 80.000$ per downloaded song, would they charge more for games and movies?

Eh, ISPs can measure traffic from BitTorrent but they can't figure out if you've been downloading Linux distributions or if you've been downloading the latest season of House.

If they warn you, they are not going to sue you. If they wanted to sue you, they would do it. Just stop pirating at least in the obviously illegal way (as with BitTorrent, you are uploading the data. At least in there, downloading is legal, as long as you don't upload., and you will be OK.

Sounds to me like they see you downloading and uploading a Lot, and someone picked up on it knowing that's what torrents do Torrents can be used for legal purposes, start torrenting America's Army and if they question you further just say the installer keeps getting corrupted, I don't think they can see What you're downloading, only that you are

I wouldn't think they would contact him unless he was downloading music or whatever....

This threads remind of the episode in Southpark where Cartman downloads some music and the Swat jumps in his house with rifles and proceed to a moral speech about pirating shit.

Here's a tip: Don't use torrents Filesharing sites are much safer

go to a better country, one that doesn't give a shit about what the RIAA or MPAA think

[QUOTE=RedStar;17963028]It's what you get for pirating honestly Sure most people get away with it but it looks like you're gonna be one of the examples [B]EDIT:[/B] If you rate me disagree, you pirate all your games [B]EDIT2:[/B] wow there's a lot of pirates on FP[/QUOTE] I like thinking of it like this Think of pirating as a guy that took one of the life rafts on the titanic because it was gonna sink. Now think of the RIAA as the shark that eats the life raft with you on it because you're in their water.

I find it funny how so many people on this forum try to justify piracy.

delete the bittorrent/vuze/utorrent ports from your fire wall [editline]07:52PM[/editline] [QUOTE=Acezorz;17976572]I find it funny how so many people on this forum try to justify piracy.[/QUOTE] it's like heroin addicts trying to legalize heroin. or sex addicts trying to legalize rape.

They can only catch you if they see youre seeding, so shut your torrents down after youre finished torrenting!!! and usaully they give you warnings

Why I have [b]Never[/b] seeded my torrents from gmod, even if it is legal. And it makes playing all online games extremely laggy when I play if I'm seeding.
