Plus I have IP and Port scanning software and I often get alerts from spyware - but not a single one from the RIAA trying to hunt my 3 songed ass down and slaughter me with a 1,000034323438%*$(%)*$ dollar law suit.



AHAHAHAHAHAHA *breath* HAHAHAHAHAHA

Okay, do you really think that your ISP does not keep records of the IP they have assigned you? If you think they just magically forget it every time you are reassigned an IP by DHCP, you are very mistaken. They keep plenty and plenty of logs, you'd probably be scared if you knew the amount of random data that is collected.

But the RIAA doesn't really bug people that don't upload, so all that 'port scanning' software is really unnecessary. Run a good software firewall and/or be behind a hardware firewall/router and you should be fine.




I totally agree!

Norton Internet Security + XP SP2 Firewall + WRT54G ROUTER = Safe enough to download all the time and upload occasionally.
