Have you or anyone you know gotten in trouble for illegal torrent downloading?

Not yet.I don't torrent but I know people who do and I have not yet seen anyone get caught. Really I dont think torrent users should get in trouble, but the torrent supplier.

I don't think people downloading torrents are actively sought after. The people providing the torrents, they are sought after. (eg. the pirate bay).

No, because I don't download illegally. Illegal downloading is just asking for trouble.

No,I do not download illegal torrents or software and I do not recommend doing so

Nope (FillerFillerFillerFillerFillerFillerFillerFillerFillerFillerFiller)

Uhh no but you can get in serious trouble for doing so. I remember an article awhile ago. A woman download 17 songs from a torrent, and was sued for thousands of dollars.

Every file on my computer is 100% legal and that is done for more then one reason which is not about fear of being caught which seems unlikely now days based on the millions that still torrent, it is more about trying to do what is right and paying for what I want to own, give some value to what I want.

"Warning: The unauthorized reproduction or distribution of this copyrighted work is illegal. Criminal copyright infringement, including infringement without monetary gain, is investigated by the FBI and is punishable by up to 5 years in federal prison and a fine of $250,000."

I did a quick search, and here's a story from 1996 ...

• SAN RAFAEL, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 13, 1996--Autodesk today announced it has settled a software copyright infringement case for more than $220,000 against Westech College, a Southern California-based operator of trade schools.

I'll bet there's many more.

I have not. But I do know someone who has, his name is daddyjamesfilms on YouTube just search his name. But anyways he got a letter in the mail from his ISP that warned him of it, but he said that they just do that to scare you, just watch his video on it.
