I'm sure games are near the top of the pirate chain. The Windows OS is probably somewhere up there as well.

I hurl a torrent of verbal abuse at the autmotively challenged. Especially those incapable of navigating rotaries(round abouts for the Brits) and those I get stuck behind on an on ramp who are unable to merge with highway traffic at a reasonable speed.

I don't have much interest in games, movies, or music.

I would torrent more illegal stuff if I weren't such a noob and could locate books for share.

I use Bittorrent websites for the acquisition of copyrighted materials.

sigtau · **Reply #24 on:** September 27, 2009, 10:39:21 am

I, uh, didn't ask for anyone to admit to doing illegal activities (though I didn't tell you not to, either).

colecampbell666 · **Reply #25 on:** September 27, 2009, 10:49:06 am

And there's another moral conundrum. I use Bittorrent to acquire copies o games that I already own, i.e. DRM free/pre-cracked versions. I don't believe that this is wrong, I just refuse to put up with bull**** copy-protection.

Hmmm, this is toeing the line (no-one in particular) but i reckon as long as whatever you do in line with the EULA then it's fine.

I mostly just burn my own games to my HD using Alcahol. That's good.

Why would you Torrent books?

Because I like to read on my computer where I can blow up font sizes and avoid wearing my glasses.

I don't understand the meaning of your link.

colecampbell666 · **Reply #29 on:** September 27, 2009, 11:38:45 am

It's a domain squatter, the original site is gone.

Torrents helped me get the back episodes of BSG I missed.

He misspelled it. http://www.gutenberg.org

It's a really interesting eBook project. It's mainly for works that have passed into the public domain, though.

Bah, that'll teach me not to check my links.

Anyway, it's a great site for a lot of older literature. I read the complete works of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle off of it a few years ago.

I have never downloaded anything illegally. Ever.

Not even songs mate, I'm a ****ing angel.

Thaeris · **Reply #34 on:** September 27, 2009, 01:33:08 pm

Never bothered to learn how to use torrents. And with all the potential security risks associated with them, I have no reason to start.

Colonol Dekker · **Reply #35 on:** September 27, 2009, 01:41:39 pm

So Sig, >>SUBJECT CHANGE<< what's this survey for anyway?

sigtau · **Reply #36 on:** September 27, 2009, 01:50:35 pm

Personal project, results will not be used against anyone and like I said--completely anonymous.

Zacam · **Reply #37 on:** September 27, 2009, 03:06:33 pm

I Torrent (legally) many linux distro's. You can also (with the authors permission) Torrent many freeware or shareware applications so long as they are unmodified.

And let's not forget the TBP DVD and the MediaVPs. I share those out via Torrent as well as an alternative to browser downloading.

I also have music from local bands not on a record deal for promotional purposes.

Never admitted anything illegal... but whatever, wasn't just directed at me.

Out of curiosity, what do most people torrent legally?

Music samples.

Or porn.

colecampbell666 · **Reply #39 on:** September 27, 2009, 05:25:59 pm

Linux, movies (some ski movies, other documentaries like Home), music, games. Anything really, there's a lot of good free stuff out there.
