Just got a letter from my ISP

Warning me to stop downloading copyrighted content.

And that's it. It's over. No more Wii games, no more DS Games, no more PSP games, no more movies, it's all fucking over. My parents will not reason with me, they've made it pretty clear that I can't download anything. At all. Ever again.

I'm very upset, on the verge of tears.

That is all.

I started finished high school when I was 14 and started college, and am going for a degree in Computer Science. I find it amazing that my parents don't listen to me when I try to explain these things to them. I really do.

But I'm just ranting now.

They aren't numbered like that at my school. I'm starting Computer Science 210 (Data Structures) a week from today.

Hm, that sucks, I use Mediacom. I'm nit allowed to torrent anyway, I just use direct downloads.

My old ISP, Cox, used to do the same thing to me. They alerted me by temp. blocking my web, telling me it was three strikes policy, and to delete the questionable material. I got he alerts 4 times (nothing happened), and EVERY time it was because of movies. You really should be using private trackers as is, but if you do movies, MAKE SURE YOU'RE PROTECTED BEHIND A PRIVATE TRACKER, AND PEER BLOCKING TOOLS OF SOME SORT. Movies are the most dangerous things to pirate,

See, I don't know a thing about hiding from stuff when I'm downloading new movies from uTorrent, but my ISP are pretty lenient and haven't given us a warning or anything. I suppose it wouldn't hurt to know.

What I've realized is that you can pretty much be safe torrenting anything except movies, with tv being probably the second riskiest, movies are easy to find direct downloads to anyway, just use jdownloader and you're good to go

there are many forums that post up links where you can just download pirated material from file hosting services.

- glad this stuff doesn't happen here.
