^ hahaha, ya for sure. I liked this comment on the post and I'm entirely all for it!

"Your odds of getting caught downloading a torrent are very slim. This doesn't deter me (or the average user, I'm sure) at all. Why the hell not find another way to make money instead of pushing Draconian punishments and using scare tactics? It just makes me want to spend more time seeding. "

"The case, producing what is among the largest fines in copyright history, was bolstered after the MPAA allegedly paid a hacker $15,000 for internal TorrentSpy e-mails and correspondence.

"This substantial money judgment sends a strong message about the illegality of these sites," MPAA Chairman Dan Glickman said in a statement."

Wow, just wow. Does the irony not dawn upon them at all?

255 GB downloaded and they still can't keep me down.

I somehow doubt the RIAA will see a penny of all the vast wealth torrentspy made from all that DIRTY DIRTY STEALING.

I can't believe how the MPAA and RIAA can get away with things like this. Good thing I live in Canada, where file sharing is still frowned upon, but I won't be taken to court or anything over it.
