    The quality is great.....you can connect your computer to your tv (via HDMI) or stream it to your tv from your computer (wireless).

    I don't know what school you attend but at my university downloading torrents on the Internet is the dumbest thing ever. All Internet access is tied to your user account.

    Anyone here over the age of 20 still stealing movies instead of paying $1 for them at redbox or $10 a month for unlimited movies from Netflix?

    Will this stop anyone from illegally downloading files? Hell no, lmao.
    Will this piss off hackers, anonymous, etc? YES.

    I only download obscure art films that never see the light in the US.

    Who the hell is stupid enough to download The Expendables?

    How would they justify suing someone for $150k for downloading a movie with no intent to distribute? It's 15 bucks for the dvd, right? I could see suing the person responsible for releasing the movie for a large amount.

    Remember retributive justice? Me neither...

    If you are going to pirate, at least stop using bittorrent. Here's a topic to watch movies if you're too cheap to pay for netflix: http://bbs.clutchfans.net/archive/index.php/t-197076.html

    Also usenet, rapidshare/megaupload + jdownloader, DC++, etc >>> bitorrent

    What's your point? It -can- change. Isn't it better to know that the IP checker on the Wired site is potentially useless? I know you (R2K) probably keep track of your IP, but most people don't. Plan for the worst, hope for the best.

    If you're using bittorrent, it's a tit-for-tat service, which means you're sharing (distributing) what you have while you're downloading.

    23,322 seems like a small number considering how many people there are in the world and how many of them probably illegally download things

    "People" with out Blu-ray players usually download the HD version of the movie to a computer connected to an HD TV.

    most of the new Streaming media players play HD content. It looks marvelous and just and great as Blu-ray. It's the future really. Eventually we will all be streaming HD content on to our TV's like U-verse or Xfinity.

    streaming yes. Stealing...i don't think so;)

    i remember watching part of a "shared" movie years ago in college and the quality sucked. Then again, it was probably a bootlegged copy shared and not an original.
