Here's an interesting article from slashdot (who else?) about that very thing.

Basically, it sounds like a lot of threats and bluster .However, when you're talking about real power like the MPAA, you never know where they can reach.

It's amazing for downloading anything. I've downloaded ISO files that were 650 mb faster than I though my connection could go. Now I know that my math sucks, but I still find the speed amazing.
And that fact that you can get just about anything, from software to television programs to movies, akes it pretty exciting.
Remember, make sure the artists get paid.
