Admittedly not very likely in Thailand. Not everyone that reads this forum lives there, tho. I actually know a family that have had to settle out of court for thousands of dollars by getting caught for this.

So-called protection, like Peer Guardian, is never up to date. There are a couple companies whose livelihood is to hunt people down on behalf of the RIAA and MPAA and their nerds may be smarter than your nerds.

NNTP is pretty much impossible to trace (even moreso if you connect using SSL). Even when you add in the price of the software and service, it is cheaper than buying discs. Combine that with the greatly increased speed and it's a no-brainer to me.
