I have to blame Clinton and the Congress of 1998 on this one. The DMCA was passed and it added a new facet to tyranny in government. "Fair use" disappeared with this piece of legislation and the industry still wants more powers.
The MPAA and RIAA can [censored] off as far as I am concerned. No one should have that much power. We have had this debate go on for many pages on here before, so I won't rehash it. |

Err, excuse me, I wasn't calling pvn stupid, or even the thread stupid. I meant the topic - er what I really meant was the "subject" line, I was in a rush. Let me rephrase my statement, in all seriousness because I mis-spoke,
"The thread subjet is extremly misleading." There, that's what I really meant. The thread itself provides for discussion of theft and copyright infringment, which is important. |

What are the chances of being prosecuted for merely downloading copyrighted material on the web? Ive always assumed that if the Feds found out you downloaded a movie you could just say your mouse went spasm and downloaded it by accident or your 2 year old nephew did it by mistake and as a results they wouldn;t be able to do anything.

They look like letters regarding the hosting and not specifically downloading.
The letter seems more like a warning than anything. I once sold a VCD on ebay, got a letter in the post about copyright 5 years ago, ignored it and nothing happend since. |
