    Lol I love how when this story comes out everyone starts proclaiming that they're little angels and they never pirate. Do you think the ISPs are reading or something?

    AOL have the right idea. I pirate all the time but have never received so much as an "oi" from them, they just limit the amount I can pirate by having a balls download speed as standard

    Does anybody know if they can detect what I'm downloading through rapidshare?

    If the archive is not encrypted then it will be fairly easy.

    I probably downloaded around 5gb a day. My Demonoid data downloaded is about 985gb. I download movies, games, applications all the time. I burn DVDs for my personal use. I've been told four billion times that they will cut us off. BT told me they don't encourage it but they won't come chasing you because it's not worth the time, court, papers.

    I thought so. That's why I now download them.

    Obviously ISP's don't want to police their users as if they cut them off they will loose customers, in turn loosing money. As many people these days use Torrents and so on. I know a few people who have got cut off for downloading illegally, now they use 'Virgin' illegally and they think this makes them less likely to get cut off.

    But this doesn't effect me much as I don't download much.
    Always lurking around, never really post.

    The people ISPs and the law are trying to target are people PROFITING of illegal downloading. So burning DVDs/Games and selling off.

    Personally I think that yet again one or two unlucky people will fall victim to this and then it will stop. ISPs know that there is a very large amount of people who download these files illegally, however at the same time this is where their money is coming from so cutting them off would mean stemming your own income. Obviously why it states they are not pleased.

    I doubt that you're allowed to download around 150GB a month with BT. Most ISPs consider 'fair usage' at around 70GBs?
