| 1194093 | 2011-04-15 04:12:00 | Just use a VPN if you are insistent on using bittorrent. Otherwise there are a lot of secure alternatives. I wonder whether this would be a defence in the tribunal: You are caught sharing files, getting 3 warnings and taken to the tribunal, just say that your wireless must have been compromised or something because you don't secure it. Then just 0 your HDD. I'm pretty sure it would cost more than 15k to get any data of a nuked or 0'd drive. |

| 1194096 | 2011-04-15 04:45:00 | Yes i was indicating it was crap and removed it from someones pc yesterday that had alot of malware...surprise Sorry the second part was a question. And i dont smoke EDIT: Like you are stating no matter what they do someone will get around it. Yep yep agree would never use it myself lol, I listed it as a P2P example but offered no opinion on it as it was outside the scope of what I was posting. Bit like the twilight zone the way people go off on tangents in some of these threads. |

| 1194097 | 2011-04-15 07:15:00 | Just wondering, if you were seeding a pirated piece of digital stuff (software games music etc) how would this affect you. I'm not sure if I read it right but as far as my skim read got me I only see a punishment for acquiring pirated material and having it in possession. I'm probably wrong though |

| 1194098 | 2011-04-15 07:44:00 | what % of New Zealand torrents media etc, and indeed the world? its been going on for so long that you cant get rid of it. Can't be that high, sure there have been some good music and movies to come out of NZ but if you look at TV shows.... |

| 1194099 | 2011-04-15 08:50:00 | im not talking about NZ content but how many torrent stuff like family guy or movies out of the states or whatever | GameJunkie (72) | ||
| 1194100 | 2011-04-15 09:10:00 | I think artist saying they think it's a good thing , is all a front . Behind the scene they probably don't like, but the 'publishing house' says "Don't worry , we'll take care of it" . Publishing houses would come after anyone either way , since they have more stake in it . If the bill is to make US 'media' companies happy , then hopefully they'll sell tv rights to TVNZ/TV3/etc abit cheaper . There's many show not being aired here :( |

| 1194101 | 2011-04-15 13:18:00 | It's most definitely workable, but specifically through the likes of P2P (emule / bearshare / limewire) and bittorrent. If somebody were to email you a file, there's significantly less chance of you being "found out". Same for Usenet. ISP's are allowed to turn a blind eye, they're not obliged to report users that have a higher data utilization than others to anybody, and so I would presume they won't bother. More data chewed through means more money for them (for the better part). |
