yes and no. you're d/l stuff anyways so my request isn't any real bearing.
BUT can you imagine Skogafoss all pissed off because she can't get into play WoW and it's my fault? Not good for wife faction all because I wanted to see "Meet the Spartans" without paying for it.

I used to download religiously and then I came to the conclusion that it just isn't worth the risk of doing it stupidly just to have whichever movies came out last week. There simply isn't any way to do it safely.
Don't download new movies, use private trackers and use Peer Guardian.

re: peer guardian, as a previous IT employee for Viacom, the IT dept was well aware of things like peer guardian. Since PG uses a block list, Viacom's knwon IPs are naturally blocked. Viacom doesn't do their own investigations, but contracts other companies who do so and are also aware of block lists. They examine the lists and use unlisted or public IPs. This obviously works for a short period of time until the IP is discovered and the list is updated.
