Just you wait.... Hollywood and the record companies have been waiting for this moment. All hell's gonna break loose now.

Better turn off the Kazaa and BitTorrent settings....

I use limewire.

The last CD I bought was a Monty Python double in 1997. It was appropriately named "The Final Ripoff". I kid you not.

I’m not a big downloader but I have D/L’d from time to time. When the RIAA got particularly thuggish I changed my habits - and especially those of my kids. We employed a laptop devoted to no other purpose, devoid of identifying info, and connected via public WiFi hot spots. It’s only booted when it’s being used and it gets scrubbed often.

Whatever material is D/L’d is immediately removed to other media. Meterial that is D/L’d is inspected for metadata and usually renamed and scrubbed.

It isn’t completely untraceable but for practical purposes it is invisible.
