U.S. Cracks Down on Internet Piracy big time

[smearbrick1]

Derex888, I would get rid of that pic asap, before you get carded.

The pic is considered as a link to warez.

The picture is a picture, not a link.
Anyone capable of typing can google current blockbuster movie's title with filetype:torrent and get links to about 180 torrent files of this movie. I don't see anything wrong with the picture. Search results are not warez, lets not get paranoid.


EDIT:
What is this in your sig? What does it mean? Ive seen it already few times, is this supposed to be some hacked png picture or somethin? (Im too lazy to check since I know no one is able to hack *my* puter hehe, but Im curious :) )

i've seen these around message boards for the longest time, waheed uses one (which is the one that drove me over the edge, inspired me, whatever).. anyhow, a real one (like waheed's) displays your ip address, o/s & browser.. people who use it think they're cool or want to scare noobs or something.. i find them more annoying than anything.. so i did a screen cap & inserted my own message.. its just a simple image file, not attached to some script that figures out your ip, o/s & browser.. just making fun of the people who use them basically :lol:

OT for a moment:

I think your sig is brilliant, Lumis.

Hi, waheed.

These are the 4 IP addresses I get, watching your signature in my computer at various times, and there's promise for more:

(removed 4 different IP addresses) ...EDIT prompted by rkr1958's advice.

...are they all mine?

Thanks.

[BJ_M]

yes they are--

[ukb007]

Oh.
I always thought a specific user with one specific internet connection in one specific computer has but one IP address.
Obviously I was wrong.

Thanks.

It's probably not wise posting your IP address(es).

[ukb007]

Thanks. I've removed them.

There are static and dynamic IP addresses. Dynamic changes now and then on broadband, on dial-up pretty much at every log-in.

Thanks, Raga.

D'you mean:
1. Dynamic IP addresses change sometimes on broadband, but almost every time one logs in on dial-up.
2. A person is assigned IP address of one or the other kind only (Dynamic/Static) [if this is the case, then what is the reason for this assignment?]

Thanks again.

[Raga]

Usually companies save on IP addresses and give you a dynamic one. The idea is that not everyone will be online at the same time, so you don't need an individual IP for everyone. Most broadband ISP charge an extra fee for a static IP address for this very reason.

A static IP is, of course, more convenient for you if you need to give it to people who need to connect to your PC, for example to an FTP server or other remote access.

Vengeance = Games
GoodFellaz= Movies
MyTh= applications not even they release PC game rips

ya there is a lot of being crackd down upon but really reality is this it wont stop the scene has been around since computers were invented just like al capone stole booze and smuggled it into the US these ppl steal movies n smuggle it to the net. Crime dates back to the start of civilization its time we ease on the petty stuff and focus on the real stuff such as the murders the rapists the molesters the drug dealers those ppl are 10x more dangerous than some1 with an illegal mp3
