AFAIK the likes of TPB's tracker injects random IP's based on the users currently connected to it.

This means that you dont have to be doing anything at all to be accused.

746694 2009-02-17 04:59:00 I think its safe to assume that the ISP's arnt complete idiots & know whats going on with home users downloading Gig's of data. I think they can guess whats in a 650/700M file.

It could well be the CD image of a Linux distro...

Think of a couple of million tiny but deadly guillotines, quietly installed at the phone entry point of every house in NZ.

746698 2009-02-17 18:04:00 So will we see all the ISP's dropping there top line capped accounts of 20Gb+ as no one will need a cap that high anymore? gary67 (56)

I'm averaging 25-30 GB per month and I'm not a pirate. I download HD TV shows from iTunes at over 1 GB each and am often downloading other legal videos. It's not difficult to get into the tens of GB without pirating anything.

The copyright owners don't guess, they can snoop. If you are indeed downloading linux distros you have nothing to worry about.

If you are using a public torrent tracker and/or you aren't using a proxy, anything you download can be verified and logged by the copyright owner. Search this forum for the Xnet user who received a copyright infringement notice, its quite chilling.

Then you must I guess have a US iTunes account. You never know . Hollyweird may say this is an illegal download and have you terminated..
