record sales drop about a million percent? What?



When using torrents you're constantly uploading, so it doesn't help you from getting caught.




if you live in the USA and are paranoid, PeerGuardian isn't the answer (although it does help). the answer is private trackers/newsgroups. on anything public it's easy to get caught.

Do you share music? While I agree with you that peer guardian won't totally protect you (even tough i think you give it less credit then it deserves), when you're on a private network you have to be able find a network, and then depending on how big/small the network is the amount of stuff you can get is limited. Bigger network = more choices.
