| 435485 | 2006-03-04 21:28:00 | Hi, I just moved from the US and a lot of people used torrents as a way to get things that they liked such as music. My question is what is the deal with it over here. Are people being sued by anyone and put in jail? I know in the US there were people that were being sued but I mean out of the millions using it over there is such a low chance of being caught that so many more people do it. So whats the deal here? |

| 435486 | 2006-03-04 21:30:00 | The deal is, Whatever your doing, Dont bring attention to it. Like with a thread on what maybe one of NZ's most popular forums. Generaly the only people getting stung are those that try and profit from it, But who knows whats on the agenda........... |

| 435488 | 2006-03-04 23:31:00 | So whats the deal here? Theft is illegal worldwide. |

Unsure if anyone in NZ has been busted for downloading such material, but I don't think so. Usually the only busts we get here are the sick f*^$ers who d/load child porn and the odd hacker/hack attempt. |
