Note: This thread is not for discussing where or how to find warez or anything like that. This thread is only about discussing the previous consequences that we paid or didnt pay for piracy.

I for one, have never been contacted. I've downloaded movies, tv shows mp3s, software, games, and the like. I don't host anything ever though.

How about you guys?

Tip; don't give your ISP your phone # nor use their email or online services. Even if they get contacted they're too damn cheap to splurge on the postage to send you the warning.

I'm not a fan of piracy.

I don't have any illegal software on my system. The only thing I've ever had illegally was a few songs I downloaded from napster in like 1998. It's all been deleted for about 6 years though.

Nope but my friend got a letter from his ISP about BayTSP catching him downloading paramount pictures "star trek nemesis". This was like 2 years ago I think, he just ignored it & nothing ever happened.

When I used to play computer games, yeah none of them were ever bought. I was never a hardcore gamer though, the only games I've ever REALLY enjoyed (counter-strike, FF7) were paid for. Everything else I played just to see what it was. I've probably only finished 5 games in my entire life. Just not a true gamer i guess

I got busted by customs.
I was hiding spindles of burned games in bags of grain shipped from Puerto Rico.
Things got out of control and had to take matters into my own hands. Unfortunately I let the woman handle the business end and she fvcked me over.
Stpuid woman.

I was caught once. I got a letter from my Service Provider asking me to discontinue sharing the file.

It was a joke. A spinoff on something like coke or weed smuggling.
