that is not legal. According to the revised DMCA you are not allowed to change formats or compressions or decrypt anything you buy, which is asinine IMHO, but it is clearly stated that is not permitted.

how is your network set up? Router, NAT, SPfirewall, software firewalls? Or none of that stuff?

Also, bitlord is a very crappy torrent client. I suggest getting rid of it and using utorrent. What I don't get is comcast can't technically press charges against you, they could only turn you in. Any outside party that wanted access to your downloads would have to supena comcast unless they were willing to just hand it over. Most ISPs still respect your privacy, but how knows how DRM will change.

Bitlord has adware in it, and it is belived to also carry spyware so technically you could have been tracked that way.

Is this illegal in Canada? I heard that it is legal since some of the money form blank dvds, cds are for royalites?

XanderCage · 01-23-2007, 05:26 AM

yep its 100 % legal to download copyrighted material from any network on the internet, yes it is true that canada has an agreement which kinda taxes cd-r and dvd-r media.
