It just really scares the shit out of me when i read stuff about that kind of thing, and im just wondering, how do you get caught for torrents and lime wire and stuff like that? How easy is it to get caught?

final cut pro is like 10 or something, but its the whole final cut studio, thats like final cut pro 6, motion 3, soundtrack pro 2, dvd studio 4, color, and compressor 3. The particular one i am talking about also has 3 other programs included as well.

Probably because you are neighbors to the creators of torrents~

download Peer Guardian. it protects your IP address from government agencies when your using torrents and p2p programs.

Ok so i beat my computer with a bat until you couldnt guess what it originally was, then i dropped out of school and fled the country, so i am currently sitting in abandoned basement in mexico on a cheap laptop with a wireless card.  You guys were serious about me being screwed right?

Just move to anywhere outside your gay ass country.

Me and my friends haven't bought a game or CD in years.

The applications aren't that big at all, around 10g.

But if you want all the content for the applications, effects, settings, etc.. it is around 52g.

i like how this blew up into a ridiculous thread when the kid just asked a simple question.. i guess thats what you get for asking nsg

anyways, i got two warning emails from umass' network people (OIT).. kinda funny since they dont do anything, but if the RIAA was watching, then i woulda been beat

Yall are dumb. Just don't worry about it. It's like driving with weed on you. If your afraid and worried as shit that the popo's are gonna get you, your gonna drive like an asshat and get caught. If you act like everything is normal and fine, it will be.

This doesn't mean you shouldn't EVER use BitTorrent.

BitTorrent is fully legal as long as the content you upload is yours. This means you've made it, there isn't any copyrights already on it, etc...

BitTorrent can be really useful when sending content to multiple people easily. It just has to be yours. Just like YouTube doesn't allow people uploading a news broadcast, or a dvd.

I would be pretty F'd in the A if I ever got caught, but for the most part they're just looking to make examples out of people because tracking down numerous individuals who use to**ents is ridiculously expensive. Just use PeerGuardian and you're probably fine... and dude, 200 songs is nothing. You're good, they have much bigger fish to fry.

To expand on why you are an idiot...
First off uploading a illegal media is just as illegal as downloading it in the torrent world. Yes they are more likely to go after the source, but this is referring to the trackers, since there isnt anyway to really differentiate between a seeder and the uploader, and if they can that doesnt make them anymore likely to be caught. Not to mention many of the torrents you see on public trackers are reposts from scene and private tracker releases, so they wouldnt even be catching the primary offender anyways. As for there being no way to mask it. Oh man you are so wrong, there a million and one ways to hide what you are doing. Ive downloaded multiple TiBs of media and never gotten so much as a warning because ive been careful with my online identity. Not that I probably couldnt have just as easily flaunted it and still had nothing happen~
