    In Trouble for Downloading copyrighted material

    Does anyone know if people are getting in trouble with the law for this type of behavior. If so, what kind of files were they d/l, how were they doing it, and how much.

    I agree...don't do it, is the best advice. Especially if you have cookies enabled, they can track you down a lot easier..

    Well that depends on a lot of factors, like the nature of the material that you're downloading, and what you're using it for.

    If it's being used for any sort of economic gain, then be prepared to suffer the consequences.

    A guy on another MB that I frequent got a letter from is ISP informing him that they have been ordered by the Government to hand over information about his IP addresses and connections.

    He said it was for trading game files..
