IP blocker my ass
So I use Kazaalite as I'm sure many of you do (or other P2P programs) and do so with fairly good success. The reason I downloaded KLite was because it supposedly had a built-in IP blocker. Found out today that may not be the case. I got an email from my ISP which contained a forwarded email from a company called Mediasentry who does detective-type work online to protect copyrights in which they had listed my IP address, username, name of the movie I was "distributing", and even the time they found it. It scared the living shit out of me at first, but all I apparently (after talking to my ISP) need to do is delete the file (you bet your ass I did). Apparently this was just a warning. If I do it again...that is to say if I get caught again, they'll terminate my service no questions asked. The sad thing is...I dl'ed a movie I didn't really wanna see that much in the first place (Gothika)...I just wanted to see how much like the original it was. What's this country coming to when a poor college student can't illegally download copyrighted materials? Hehe. j/k...but I'm still wondering if I should just delete the program altogether.
