Does any body remember when they used to say on news that there were people getting caught that was downloading music and movies and stuff? Well I was wondering how many people actually know some one that sort of got in trouble for piracy? Because I really don't know anyone personally that ever got in trouble for piracy and almost everyone I know does do it lol.
LOL I don't know anyone either, I've easily downloaded thousands of dollars worth in movies,music, and programs too.
I'm with you, I have not even heard of any cases in Wisconsin...Hah.
Ive heard of a few ppl getting in trouble. Like also sometimes I heard of people getting contacted by their isp to stop pirating.... so yes u can get caught but the odds are 1 in a (ever one else who does it) which is billions
At least 50 movies, 15,000 songs, and hundreds of free programs and games all exist on me and my roomates' computers and none of us have gotten in trouble. My 60 GB iPod is completely full of stuff I didn't pay anything for. I think its more of a scare tactic than anything.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe they were mostly college kids using the university's internet service. They offer it to students cheap, and some of them WILL snitch on you if you use it to do something illegal. RIAA.com has a few links if you feel like looking through their news archives.

It had every movie he downloaded in the past month (including porn, so his parents weren't too thrilled), and a large bill to pay.
I saw it with my own eyes. The bill was something like 250$
LOL that's a bit funny to me. I just wonder what the parents were thinking when they seen the porn.
my grandmother downloaded a season of Diagnosis murder...within hours the RIAA kicked in her door. When she turned round she had her cane in her hands...needless to say the S.W.A.T's opened fire, she was cut down in a hail of bullets
god rest her pirate soul
(j/k)
I've gotten 2 letters from the RIAA so far....
