the other day, who recently upgraded to
premium broadband after years of using
dial-up. While trying out all of this new
speed and bandwidth, she said she
downloaded 8 or 10 new release movies over
the last several weeks. She has since
found out this is a no-no and has stopped,
and deleted these movies. There were
no disclaimers, login, or registration
requirements. It didn't sound like a
torrent or other peer-to-peer site.
My question is, realistically, is she
already in trouble? Is the FBI, NSA,
Homeland Security, and/or Universal
Studios security, going to break down her
door, or send her a nasty subpoena? Should
she retain a good lawyer now, or head for
the border? How long do most major ISPs
retain log information? She was kind of
worried, and if I see her again it would
be nice to give her some good news or
advice.
