Here's a good question: Why doesn't anyone host servers in Spain? It's perfectly legal there to fileshare without any profit. I'm glad that finally I see a country not giving a f**k about U.S. law and governing their own country with their own laws. America needs to stop coercing other countries, such as Sweden, to obey American laws. This shows that lesser economically empowered countries can stand up to the snobby government and anti-piracy companies that think they can sue pretty much anybody they desire (whether in the country or not). Most of the time, though, they fail in successfully prosecuting denizens in other countries.

As I said before, filesharing is not bad but in our nature to learn new things and new ideas to help innovate the world. Companies (with their millions in access) don't have enough brains or are too hidebound in trying to think of a way for media lovers, education lovers, and anybody else to give the consumers what they want, when they want it, and at a low, resonable price. In my opinion, I think there should be less talk about abstract rep. points and more talk on filesharing and its current stance and where it should go before the U.S. and any other bothersome force gets the better of all of us (no matter where you live).

As I just currently read, Swizz Beatz (an American rapper) has a potential in being involved some way in the Megaupload case which I find repulsive that the Feds need him for a substantial evidence of copyright infringement (he only supported Megaupload; he was not involved in any operations in the site). Anyways, this battle of filesharing and the legality of it needs to stop not only in the U.S. (where they are strict about it), but also globally.

I had no intention of writing this much, but I hope you ,KAT members, enjoyed my take on the whole situation. I would love to see your take on this "article". By the way, please, no one put any posts on top of this one (put posts underneath this one when replying to my post; I want to make this on top of my wall for a while). Spread the ideas of this article to your friends on KAT and anybody else and keep spreading ideas and innovations to the world (one upload at a time)! :) Thanks for reading.

FOUR? Are you using a VPN to hide your IP? Nothing is 100% fool proof but it sounds like you need to invest in a little protection.

I'm using peerblock now, and since I've started using it, I haven't received anymore letters about movies. But I am concerned, and have stopped downloading movies and new music for now also. I am more concerned that a lawsuit letter will arrive in my mailbox than that my Internet Connection will be shut off. THey've throttled me a few times for awhile already.

I'm a Charter subscriber. I've received 4 letters from them in recent months about movies. None about music. I do believe that is quite enough! I am HOPING the Peerblock is helping. Not sure that it is though, and I don't want to depend on it. I really need to go back to using a Seedbox.

You were a testament of getting caught and not being prepared.

yeah i have charter, all they did for now was forward the letters they received to me. as far as a peerblock... its a waste of time, as soon as you connect your pc to internet, i dont care what you have, your isp knows what your looking at, d/loading, u/loading etc..peerblock is for those a@@holes that try to ping your ip and access your pc from afar..

Say what you will but you're sitting on Four nastygramms and I have zero,zilch,nada by using my VPN.

yeah, bless you. ive been doing this torrent thing since napster (free version) and never had any problems..hopefully charter is too small of a cable provider and they need my $ too much and wont do anything. but if they do so be it. just sit in my corner and take my punishment.

Just curious as to why you refuse to get some sort of protection? You say you download items solely to see if you enjoy them before you purchase them. That would suggest that you have money. Why not try to guard yourself? Punishment could mean thousands of dollars in fines.

because im hardheaded and dont listen to my peers untill after the fact.
