I've have recently been going kinda crazy with downloading and I'm starting to wonder..... is it still safe to be doing..... the last thing i want is to be caught doing so and i would like some advice on whether it is a good option at the moment......
by the way the only thing i use is bittorrent
long answer no but
Long answer yes if
As long as you arent too liberal in your pursuits theres probably not an issue
to be safe use:
-private trackers (closed reg)
-rapidshare (other file sharing sites)
-FTPs
-newsgroups
if you desperately have to use public torrents use peerguardian
DDLs are safer than public torrents I think??

Indeed
out of the 1000000000 billion others downloading illegally right now why would they pick you?

bad luck i guess :D
there was a thing on the news a few nights ago where a 15 year old kid from cardiff got caught torrenting a copy of test drive unlimited. his family got sued for £650 when the game only costs about £15. Atari's lawyes say it was because the game was made available to others that justifies such a big amount of money to be sued for.
eeeeeeeenyway, as long as you're not stupid you should be fine.
