Scootray Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 So the guy got done for uploading them onto the net, but not for actually downloading anything? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cloud Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 That's what most (all?) people actually get fucked for in the courts. They can't prove without access to your ISP logs what you've been downloading, but it's relatively easy to get people for uploading. Common sense suggests that if you're going to go for a target, go for the people who are uploading the stuff, not downloading the stuff. Either way, I await the release of the next mass p2p client that deals with some of the issues surrounding anonymity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
