Chances of getting caught?
 

What are the chances of getting caught while downloading off of Limewire by the Gov.?

Hmm.....well,I heard this thing was legal(in another post),but anyways,Nighthawk,do u post on other boards?J/w?If so,which 1s?

Nope my first time here. Just seeing if I can download without having a big chance of being caughr cause it's been forever since I've downloaded from LW.

Well guests there's nothing at all wrong with dwnlding files using LW! It depends upon 'what' you dwnld!

How do i prevent my IP-address from being shown when ppl download my files...

(You'll see it when you dl a file from my library and request all of my files to be shown on a special tab)

Cheers

ya like who all has access to what weve dowloaded from LW?:confused: :eek:

Filesharing is legal and the program Limewire is also legal, sharing and downloading copyrighted material is illegal.

You can't hide your IP address, you see your IP address is similar to your real address, that is how you see the web pages you browse, how your downloads find you and how other computers can upload from you.

Your IP address is allocated by your ISP every time you log onto the internet or, if you are on a network, by your DHCP server.

There have been claims that there are applications that can hide or scramble your IP address but, unless someone knows differently, they have turned out to be vapourware (hot air, no substance).

Dear All

I came across the following article, it explains how IP addresses work and why they can't be hidden:

That's a very interesting article & shows how footprints are left everywhere you go on the net.
