copyrighted material of any kind and if your ISP catches wind of it you will get a cease and disist letter as a form of a warning.
But like speading as long as you go with the flow of traffic and dont go faster than the others than your odds of getting cought is narrow.
number 1 rule dont post. Most groups dont want you to post any way.
Number 2 rule is buy a good news groups service. Giganews is very good. expencive but good. The reson for this is with the news groups you get with your ISP the binaries will expire within a few hours. with giganews it can last upwards of weeks for some threads.
You need the binearies to be compleat so your movie is complete.
some films will be over 500mb in lengh so even with a cable/dsl connection it will still take a good long time to download.
use a good news reader I use fort'e agent. It is compatible with yenc. Agent looks like if crawed from a computer that ran windows 3.0 but is is the best. You can select an archived movie and walk away in an hour or so all the win rar files will be downloaded along with the par (parity files) you use win par to varyfie that all the files in the archive have been downloaded compleatly then you can extract the movie/application by using the win rar program when you are done you will have a movie file or files depending on the lengh of the movie.
all of the above can be downloaded free of charge from the news groups or download.com.
Yes it is wrong to steal and the movies companies are workig hard to stop it. I apploud there efforts they are gong to creat a way to legalie download movies from the internet say for 3.99 be able to download a first run movie and be able to own it I would be first in line to do it.
Save me time and effort but I am not going to pay 20 bucks for 400 mb of 0 and 1's that in effect is all you ever download.
it is only after you extract the file does it turn into the matrix or under the tuskin sun.
Most of you will be upset that I am stealing anothers hard work. I agree that it is wrong. I would never ever shop lift. But i also say
That it is wrong for them to charge horendis prices for dvd and cd's 20 bucks is allot of money and 29 dollers for a cd is outrages.
yes you will aurgue that if no one pyrited then they would be cheaper. If you beleave that then I have a cirtin bridge in brooklyn I would like to sell you.
But if I can record a movie from the cable why cant I download one from the computer. That is the same aurguement that the insurance industry used when manditory insurance laws whent into effect. If every one has insurance then it will be cheaper for all of us. I would paying 40 bucks a month for insurance then and I am paying 40 bucks a month now. If I get a newer car it will go through the roof.
Ok I have my flame espestose undies on so flame away.
