i dont do any of this anymore, so dont even start with that junk.

i always see people saying "dont worry! just dont share and you will be fine!"

if no one is sharing anymore, how are people still downloading anything they want? is there some unknown entity on teh intarw3b that has everything you can think of downloading? :confused:

seriously though...if they are cracking down on uploading illegal stuff, how are people still downloading all of it? i guess most people are still too stoopid to stop uploading.

People, in their courageous splendor, continue to share anyway, so they are the ones the DLers can get from. p2p is a pain in the ass, however, and risky. If you're caught torrenting (obviously you have to UL if you are), then you deserve it in this day and age.

Yes, and I just don't understand the sudden attraction for them.
