I would uninstall it - I'm doing it now...

To be honest Ryan, I dont think they will stop it, try as they might. Its just the tip of the iceberg, they are always about 3-4 years behind the technology, with the tv news only recently screaming about a new fangled program called "kazaa" where shady things go on.

Yeah some end users were actually hit with fines though on the whole original music download deal... Just enough to set a small example - Not worth the chance to me, hell I only wanted it for the star wars movie anyways lol ...

Besides if the Feds have control over it now, do you really want to be transferring any kind of the files you would transfer there? :)

The way films are nowadays, with all the effects and visuals, its more prudent to go to the cinema's and see them. Save your dsl for voip :)

glad I finished star wars... :agrin:


If the torrent goes out, it will be in with something new... they will never be able to stop file sharing altogether IMHO

BitTorrent doesn't pirate material, people pirate material. :matey:

I don't pirate files, but I have had files shared... I've never bought a bong in a tobacco shop, but I have bought a number of pipes :agrin:

The action was the first criminal enforcement against individuals who are using cutting-edge BitTorrent software to obtain pirated content online, Justice and Homeland Security Department officials said.

Glad to know that the Homeland Security Department is helping them ferret out people who download movies illegally.

God knows it's a short leap from there to terrorism.

I'm so glad Homeland Security was on top of this!

I feel the country is so much safer now from attack!
