    Well I guess every country has idiots.

    Sorry if the reason is that you still live with your parents.

  3. I have the right approach. My hardware simply doesn't permit tracking.

    The data I am receiving is total gibberish to anyone looking at it.

    Not that I'm worried, this is Canada, and A we don't give a fuck about US laws (it's not the US eh), and B we value privacy a lot more than some schmucks song.

    The most important letter in RIAA is the last letter A.
    Might matter if it was some organization in Canada.

    Not that I want anyone to think Canada is perfect. We have our share of mindbreaking dumb.

  7. I keep noticing a pattern in all those cases. They always get a white person, mostly female, and its always a charge for a ridiculous amount based on 6 - 30 songs. They always try to make an example out of them and in turn scare stupid Americans who don't know how to use a computer (other than for porn and lolcatz)

    It never fails, something like this gets published and next day half the idiots I know are scared shitless of downloading.

    Meanwhile, the people that keep the internet alive downloading a metricshit ton of anime, movies, music and games, the ones with Teras and Teras of shit sleep like babies, why? because they know they'll never go get them.

    1.5 mill for 22 songs, so what's it gonna be for my 2teras of shit? death penalty?!

    ... OH! Lucky Star finish downloading! nice =3

    That a lot of laws in Canada do a lot more than a lot of laws in the US is not in debate.

    Truth though is the internet is essentially a safe option in Canada primarily because of the fact that to find out what I am downloading, you need to commit some serious breeches of privacy to do it. Here in Canada, doing that (invading privacy) can get you massively screwed.

    Short of being arrested for downloading child porn, no one is going to risk an invasion of privacy counter suit.

    There is always a way. Sure you can encrypt the traffic and use a paid tunneling service, but if they get the tracker or the first node of whatever service you're using you're still fucked.

    Though the only people I've seen getting screwed over were using crappy centralized p2p, so I don't think they're trying too hard.

    Still... I do miss the days of searching for random porn, selecting 50 or so interesting but legal titles, only to actually recieve:
    - 20% what you want.
    - 40% gay porn
    - 10% random crap with a renamed extension.
    - 30% CP :S

    Wait...on the other hand. Fuck Kazaa, WinMX, Ares, eDonkey, Limewire and all the others.. Torrents rule!

    Edit: Fuck the RIAA too. Greedy assholes..

    The morally correct way of handling things. I would feel just disgusting if I funded their corruption.

    Though I'm not sure I actually like that many artists under the RIAA, musically.

    This is a noble sentiment, but unfortunately, nearly all major artists are under the RIAA, so I doubt enough people will be prepared to do this for there to be any real impact on them. The RIAA has a virtual monopoly on popular music.

    Of course, it's possible that you are only doing this out of personal principle rather than with the intent of sending a message.

    Not enough people prepared? Practically everyone pirates music these days, I doubt it'll be too much of a leap to encourage that.

    You'd be surprised at how many people still pay money for it.

    Those people are the ones who are least likely to know or care what the RIAA does and the least likely to boycott the mainstream crap the RIAA leeches off.

    I'm one of those people. I buy physical CD's, crazy as it is.

    90% of the music I buy is from Europe anyway, where the RIAA has very little presence.
