it's not, unless the material you download over it is free of intellectual property rights (which practically nothing you get from P2P sites is, they exist for the sole purpose of distributing pirated content).

So if they came after you you'd loose your PC and for good measure all your burned CDs and DVDs as well and they'd go through it with a very fine comb to find any traces of pirated music, movies, software, etc. they can find. If they find anything you're toast.
As people are clearly allowed to attack me but I'm not allowed to defend myself, I no longer post to this site.

.. unless you have a fail-safe in case they do catch you in some magical way.. For instance, I have a double encryption program that would encrypt data and save it in a hidden file disguised as an OS file. Even if this file is found, the encryption is almost impossible to break.. unless you get lucky through brute force..

Not that I use it, or have anything to hide

you could always sign up for CompuTrace, though I'm not sure it can be installed on desktops.
It is practically impossible to teach good programming style to students that have had prior exposure to Basic; as potential programmers they are mentally mutilated beyond hope of regeneration.

I hope the Internet makes copyright become so impossible to enforce that it must be abolished.

It's a monopoly power.

I always wonder why the "equal pay for equal work" people don't attack patents and copyrights. It's certainly unfair pay for little work. (So are sports salaries.)
