My 2nd DMCA Violation (A.K.A. Don't download HBO TV Shows)

My enthusiasm for downloading TV shows via BitTorrent has been curbed.

I am not going to jail. Basically a cease and desist from HBO (who has a very cool lawyer that I spoke to). As for my ISP, since this is my 2nd offense, per their TOS, my service has been shut down for 10 days. This sucks hardcore. A 3rd offense will result in perminate blacklisting (I don't plan on getting a 3rd offense). Luckily I know some really cool people here in Boise, ID and I have a place to work from during these next 2 weeks.

More info to follow.

Wow. What happened?

You're better off getting your TV downloads from Usenet (ie. newsgroups). I only use smaller bittorrent sites with private trackers for a lot of things. But when it comes to movies & TV shows, newsgroups are the way to go. If anyone wants more info about how to use them (or what they are), go to http://www.slyck.com/ng.php. DMCA...ha!...:)

LO - you are correct. A freind has turned me on to usenet since my DMCA troubles. I have run into problems with missing files on a few shows, but for the most part it is just as good. The par files are always a few blocks short too. But overall its definately a faster method for getting the shows too.
