This shouldn't last long.
Why?
i see no problem with this thread,hes simply asking if people do it or not.
now if he was asking where you get your downloads from then that would be diffrent

I got caught once (counted as two strikes because they turned the internet off, my parents phoned in and got it turned back on; the only problem is that I was not home throughout all of this, so it counted as two strikes when the program began downloading again). So, now I am too paranoid to do it. If I were to get caught again, we would lose our service for...ever(?).

your ISP cut your connection because you where torrenting?
He got caught by the wrong people and when served with a subpoena his ISP was a ninny about it. Comcast supposedly send out several cease and desist letter before the offended party demands personal information.

Yes. I torrent music occasionally, as well as some software such as Alcohol 120% or Partition Magic, something I'll use for 5 minutes and then uninstall again.

I'm glad to say that everyone who said yes in this poll will expect to see a Fed on their doorstep within the next few days.....haha j/k
Haha yeah, I find myself doing the same thing. Anyways, do I torrent occasionally...although not to much anymore. (My conscience is getting the best of me)

I hope you do understand that saying you torrent doesn't mean it's illegal. Programs like Linux, and other big third party software developing companies that run on donations, use torrents as their main reliable source of distribution. There are loads of legal torrents out there for people to download, from home videos, to third party softwares, and while there are illegal one's too, we are not discussing how, where, through what means, or in any way saying illegal torrenting is good.
I don't really see any reason this thread would be deleted.

I didn't vote, and what I do on my Personal Computer is Personal.
And we have had threads that looked and were perfectly legal, and resulted in getting closed, and infractions issued due to where the conversation led.

which is illegal
I put no, because I have no need to pirate and have legit software from work. I have blockbuster online so I get DVDs in the mail all the time and I play my console more than my PC so I don't buy a lot of PC games.

That's perfect.
Just the fact that the Subject has a word that is most likely an illegal act is enough for this thread to be locked.
