There's very little risk if you keep things to yourself, however if you open up a market stall selling dodgy dvds etc, you get what you ask for imo.

What speeds were you on back in your teenage days? I remember the first roll out of ntl: dial up and then thinking 3Mb was shockingly fast.

I'm also 23 and i'd like to say i was pretty naughty downloading all that stuff but in reality I was leaving the computer running for 4 days at a time to download 1 movie, but then I went from 150Kb to 3Mb and my world changed, I was downloading at shockingly fast speeds :P

But back then 1 Gig was a huge amount, oh wait according to VM it still is.

Re: You're all 20Mb pirates

i started out on dial up with aol but got kicked off it for using some text colour changing scripts in the chatrooms then went to 512k back when the broadband was pretty new and it was still NTL, moved up to 1mb with them, and i think i MIGHT of been on 2mb with BT for a while before i stopped all the naughty behaviour lol, soon went back to cable though, damn them adsl days!
