Will I get caught in Canada?

Posted: Wed Jul 25, 2012 5:33 pm

Hey everyone,
I am a normal torrent user, downloading about 25-75 torrents a month for about 1/1.5 year now. Do you think I will get caught anytime soon? I live in Canada, and have never had a letter from my ISP, and I have never been throttled. I am using Bell. I have probably downloaded almost 500 torrents, but I am a little worried about getting caught, do you think I will? I have never uploaded a torrent, and sadly Sad

I never ever seed after the torrent ends...

Thanks,

also the way p2p works is you are uploading as you download.

Depends if you hold the rights to whatever you download. If not then you always run that risk.

See above. Living in Canada does not exempt you from the law, copyright lives outside of US also.

So you are happy for other people to seed for you but won't return the favor yourself? My advice would be to quit P2P and move over to something like Usenet as you are clearly deliberately ignorant of how File Sharing works. Just so you know, every time you connect to a public tracker your IP is visible for all to see. Only thing that comes out of not seeding is a woeful lack of etiquette on your part and frustration and annoyance for everyone else.

Your welcome. I hope you listen to what has been said and adjust your attitude accordingly. Either don't use the service or use it without being anti-social.
