Not sure if anyone here did before, but if you did- have you stopped downloading music/ films online?
I heard there's a 3 strike rule now and that ISP's are monitoring what you download? Apparently, repeat offenders get a letter warning them to stop or their internet connection will be cut off. |

i guess its a good idea, afterall i would be quite annoyed if i was famous and people basicly stole off of me rather than buy it, Although i used to download in the past *cough

I still do it, in my opinion there's worse stuff going on in the world that should be tackled before this.

They aren't monitoring what you download, they're monitoring how much you download which is where its gets ridiculous. How can they distinguish between downloading an album illegally and watching a programme on BBC iPlayer perfectly legally?

I don't download much at all, just the odd instrumental and stuff for Media. I much prefer having the discs in my hands and stuff. I like the real deal.

I download a few songs now and then, but I can't download films or anything. My brother has a safe way of downloading albums and films, he's tried explaining it all to me but I don't understand most of it... he has all these special programmes on his PC, he's a sneaky sod when it comes to downloading illegally.

I consider myself loyal to 4-5 artists and thus will buy their music. I have no problem torrenting the hell out of everything else though. Those guys have more money than me. Bottom line.

IMO There's no difference between downloading songs and just watching them on YouTube whenever you want to. Same availability, yet the notion of illegality?
And I'm not stopping any time soon. |

When I get a warning letter I will stop
There are bigger things in the world to worry about than me downloading a few tracks and when the tree is moved from outside my house so I can get Sky I will stop downloading TV shows too |

Every time I download through limewire, my net seems to slow down or repeatedly cut off for a day or two. I haven't downloaded any songs or films for weeks now Suprised no one else seems to be getting the so called letters. They said they'd send one out after downloading only 3 songs illegally. Seems it just isn't happening. |

I used to download all my music through Limewire but I can't cope with it any more, it freezes and does all kinds of weird **** and I'd end up smashing my laptop, so I just listen to music on youtube now. I still usually watch films illegally online though.

Most people do it,I prefer to buy albums but if its just one song than I will download it off Limewire. I downloaded the majority of Grey's Anatomy S3
of LimeWire because I couldn't find it online. |
