My internet carrier has sent me TWO warnings in the last two weeks warning me that my internet will be shut down if I don't stop illegally downloading music. **** my life. How am I going to listen to anything anymore? I'm probably going to have to quit music.

The first was for Teenage Dream. My dad was so mad. He called her Kathy Perry. It just frustrates me because Katy is my second most legally purchased artist. You can bet your ass I'm DONE giving her my change.

The second I don't want to know because I think it was **** and my dad read the letter.

Yeah, but I do it with Android apps and no warnings

No.

How do they know?

Can you not just use Spotify or whatever?

I only illegally download music if it's not available in my country. Like, for whatever reason a lot of the UK-based artists I listen to only get around to releasing their music stateside months and months after it's available in the UK. I don't have the patience to wait for that.

Yeah. I mean, there's good songs that I want to listen to, but they're not good enough to spend whatever scarce money I have on them.

No.

Nope.

I have Verizon, use ThePirateBay and Vuze. I have no idea how they know. Apparently they're looking at what I download now. My friend got a warning this week too. I feel like they're really start to crack down.

Only artists that aren't Madonna.

More than 500 albums downloaded (and in iTunes quality)

no. within the last month i've spent over 300$ on music

Sometimes.

If you use a proxy you should be good. Sometimes they get around them, but most of the time you're good.

Sometimes, but I buy everything I like most of the time
@ the warnings though, they don't do that here
