Limewire - still good?

Is it really that easy to get caught on Limewire? Whats the percentage of users that are caught?
I thought you could usually only get caught if you were uploading something illegal.

I have heard that on bittorrent its just as likely that one can get caught too, because all they need is your IP address which they could get through either program. (unless you have some type of proxy)
 
ok, let me give you guys the run down on the difference between p2p and torrent sites.

p2p are the best way to get caught, because that is what your average internet user knows how to use - because any retard could do it. plus, p2p networks are far more 'mainstream' than torrent sites.

secondly, any respectable torrent site makes everyone maintain a ratio of downloaded to uploaded data. if they don't maintain it, they get kicked off and banned. if someone uploads shit, it gets reported and removed (unlike p2p networks where shit just spreads)

so, if someone needs to upload just as much as they download, how could the RIAA and MPAA stay on to catch people? they would have to be actively downloading or uploading to 'catch' a person, but then they too would be breaking the law.

plus, bots get sniffed out pretty quickly on any respectable torrent site.

I am in law school and we reviewed a bunch of cases etc. and music and mainstream movies are on the hitlist.

I am a porn addict and so far the porn industry has nto initiated any lawsuits (that I know of) so I am safe (all I download is porn). Most of the bands l listen to don't sell billions of CD's either so I am happy to support thier meager paycheck.

I am surprised the porn industry has not statrted lawsuits. Porn generates more money per year than the NFL, NBA and MLB. I think they generate more money than Hollywood too.
 
another problem with torrent communities is that i rarely see a good selection of audio files there (and other small files), like mp3s.
its great for video files though.
