how easy is it for them to catch you stealing music? just wondering. i have heard stories of people having to pay crazy ammounts of money. but how hard is it for them to get you. or will they even try it?

Just PM me your street address, telephone number, work address, internet provider and IP address, and I'll be happy to work with you to get a baseline guess.

if you're pirating music, torrents USENET is the only way to go

seriously, it's fast. and you don't have to worry about ratio. and it's not just for music.

I'm on a crappy connection, and I still get 2 mb/s. So many moooviiieesss. and music too, I suppose.

As for the getting caught - its usually that they go after those SHARING music. not the guys dling.

I try not to dl but every so often I need to ;( If I had a real job I'd buy the tracks off itunes since I only rock an ipod anyway

And yes, if you're using torrents, they will track you if you are seeding. I usually DL my shit and then stop seeding. Especially do not seed if you are on a closed server, like a university or work.
