Got a message from my ISP saying to stop seeding copyrighted movies. The gist was that if I stopped now, they wouldn’t sue.

Well, I’m sure some people got that message and decided to be IP warriors. But I’m not, and I suspect that if the Motion Pictures Association can get these messages out to all seeders, they’ll effectively cripple piracy without a single legal battle.

I like free shit, but I’m not going to the barricades for it.

   If you’re using uTorrent, enable protocol encryption and disable the DHT network. Your torrents will slow
