/mu/ - Music (Temp full images)

Sorry, never had them so I can't say
But I did know someone who got a warning for piracy on verizon

>>37674401
>isps warning you about piracy
What shit country do you live in?

>>37674529
Probably freedomland

i have xfinity which i think is comcast and havent had a problem

tho ive only been here a month

>>37674529
America, though people always say it's not the downloaders, it's those who upload/distribute pirated content.

This is a big thing in America right now and has been for years. And the RIAA, MPAA, the record labels, and government have been trying their best for years to stop it,

Everybody is on the fence about piracy in this country, some people say shit can't be done, some say it can. But why OP is asking is because sometimes ISPs can act as middle men to the RIAA to get you caught and shut down your internet or get your fined.

I don't know how they are on piracy in general.
But I heard that they'll throttle you if you use torrents, even shit that's 'legally' torrented.

The only very bad thing I heard about comcast was last year when some guy got his service cancelled because he was doing heavy loads of work, using heavy amounts of data and he passed their cap. Shit that most people don't do, but his job depended on the internet.

But I knew another guy who used comcast/xfinity and he used to torrent large amounts of shit.

The other day I got a DMCA take down notice for a movie I uploaded, what do?

>>37676331
I've had that happen to me several times. It's not a big deal, as long as you know how to handle it.Did you read the attached letter? Sometime within in the next 3 weeks you'll have to meet with someone from the RIAA. They'll give you this big long speech about how you're hurting the artists you love, and that you violated law and are subject to a max $150,000 fine. Then they'll seize your computer and remove any music they believe to be illegally downloaded. Then they'll fine you a couple hundred bucks and you'll never hear from them again.

>i need to know, how is Comcast when it comes to pirating music?
They don't give a fuck.

>>37676331
Never had that problem. I don't upload anything

>>37676331
>The other day I got a DMCA take down notice for a movie I uploaded, what do?
lel

What is a torrent? What's the difference between a torrent site and a file sharing site? Seriously, I have no idea

Hold on... comcast is still around? I couldve sworn they got went out of business or some shit. Or who was that?

>>37676401
just google it retard

Comcast sent me two warnings for downloading while Uverse was fine with it. I've never been warned for downloading music though.

>>37676410
The results didn't mean anything to me, it just confused me

>>37676434
Then torrenting is not for you

>>37676402
comcast just turned into xfinity and they're still the biggest cable company in the free world

>>37676401
Torrents aren't really a site. With torrents you go somewhere like the pirate bay, or kickass torrents and get a torrent file. You download some program like bittorrent or utorrent and it allows you to use/download from torrents. You in a pool with other users when you torrent since torrents depend on other connections to be download, if you're not masking your IP, you IP is in a pool with these other users. Sometimes there can be a tracker in there for the RIAA or some shit ready to pull you up..

Filesharing sites like Mediafire, Rapidgator, Zippyshare, etc along those lines. Are direct download sites and you get a zip or a rar folder. These are sites you can find just by doing a search in your browser and you can download directly from them, but you need a program like Winrar to open the Zip or Rar.

You're on /mu and don't know this shit?

Just use soulseek brother

whats wrong with ur service retard

>>37676402
>went out of business
they are one of the largest companies in the world, and they fucking bought NBC
like the whole thing

>>37676487
Until now I didn't know the difference.

>>37676514
>Soulseek

Son, get the fuck out of here. Is it 2006?

I don't think they can monitor DDLs. They might have an issue with torrents though.

Just use Kazaa. Comes with a in-browser too now. It's pretty neat.

OH GOD PLEASE FUCKING HELP ME

COMCAST FUCKING GOT ME MAN, I JUST WANTED TO LISTEN TO YEEZUS MAN. I DIDN'T EVEN LISTEN TO THE WHOLE THING

WHAT THE FUCK THEY'RE AT MY FUCKING DOOR, WHAT THE FUCK MAN

FUCK THEYRE COMING UP MY STIARS,

FUCKING RUN

>>37676623
>not telling the cops it's only 5/10 garbage

>>37676623
>I JUST WANTED TO LISTEN TO YEEZUS MAN
Well there was your problem. Sounds like you got what you deserved.

>>37676562
you are dumb. and what makes it worse is you seem to be almost proud of your ignorance.

From someone with Comcast, I've never gotten into any shit for downloading anything, but 99% of what I have on my computer is shit the bands release for free or don't care as long as you are enjoying the music. Just stay away from torrents

What happened to the people thinking that Mega's a big honeypot?

Real talk time.
Hardly anyone gets hit for pirating music. No one gives a shit about obscure albums from the 70's and 80s that scaruffi recommended. movies and television are a different story, and the easiest way to get hit for pirating is to torrent porn.

>>37676717
>not streaming porn

I have comcast and have never had an issue. I am currently seeding 500+ torrents (all private trackers for movies & music). My apartment uses 800 GB of bandwidth a month regularly and we have never had issues with using too much data.

The only DMCA thing we ever had was a letter because one of my roommates downloaded some porno off a public tracker. Comcast just forwarded us the letter and nothing ever came of it.

stick to private torrent sites and direct downloads (mediafire, mega, etc) and you'll be fine

>>37676755
>streaming porn
enjoy your shit selection, poor quality and short clips.

>>37676820

Shit selection's only how much effort you put into finding what you're wanting.

HD vag is pretty disgusting, also.

torrenting is fine as long as you protect your ass. if you've gotten any 'strikes' you probably deserved it for being so naive about it.

>>37676852
>HD vag is pretty disgusting, also.


lol. have you ever been with a woman?

>>37676860

Lol are you supposed to stare directly into the vagina upon meeting said woman?

they aren't exactly the prettiest things.

>>37676894
So, thats a no.

>>37676894
you might be gay, dude. nothing wrong with that, but..

>>37676565

You're on 4chan, what is this 2003?

Soulseek works.

>>37676565
The reason soulseek is so great is because people like you left and dont use it anymore.

comcast is part of the six strikes thing. I use them and have been pirating for as long as I have had service, even stuipid shit like downloading movies right on release from the pirate bay. I use mostly private trackers now though. never ever gotten a letter from them

I've had comcast for years, as it's the only thing available in my town. I have terabytes of hard drives full of tv shows, music, software, and music and have never had any problem. i've had it since the days of limewire and emule and still use it for direct downloads, torrents, rutracker, etc. never had a problem or a warning or anything.

their customer service sucks though. i got a letter in snail mail last week saying i was being charged an additional $7/mo for some modem i was supposedly leasing from them that they didn't realize i had until years into my contract. it basically boiled down to my word against theirs that my modem was one that i owned and that if they didn't believe me they could send someone out to look at it or i was canceling, so of course they backed off and took the charge off. also when i moved last year i was supposed to turn in the cable box at the local place but i couldn't find the remote and they WOULD NOT take the box without the remote (like... wouldn't take it at all), and apparently couldn't charge me for just the remote because it comes as a "package." so i set the cable box on the counter, took a picture of it, and said "i'm leaving this right here and i'm taking a picture of me leaving it right here. if i get charged for this thing i'm calling my lawyer." never got charged.

also they won't let me get JUST internet, which means i have this completely useless cable box sitting next to my tv that never gets turned on but apparently it's the same cost for internet whether you have basic cable or not.

>>37676623
better get kamikaze

>>37677147
the pricing here actually makes it more expensive not to have cable with the internet. fuck comcast

>>37674401
I don't have Comcast, but several people I know have gotten emails or letters from Comcast telling them to stop downloading torrents. I also heard that they still send you a notice even if you downloaded a legal torrent.

>>37677226
because torrenting isn't allowed based on your terms of service agreement. this is the case with almost any ISP. read the fine print next time

I have done literally terabytes of music traffic and plenty of music and games too with them with no repercussions. Their service is abysmal though and there are semi frequent cutlets. Only option where I live though.

second one is supposed to be movies

>>37677264
Nice reading comprehension

I currently use Comcast. Never have had any problems regarding illegal downloads, and I download every day (even from sites like piratebay). I get most of my music from rutracker, which I think is harder to follow since it isn't US based. I got a 12 month deal for 29.99 a month, my usual download speed is around 1.5-2 MB a sec. I recommend them.

Comcast rarely cares. My friend got a letter from him but they didn't do anything else. They didn't throttle traffic when I had them. I think they are participating in the six strikes rule, however.

>>37676820
none of those are true if you know how to find good streaming porn

>>37677512
Thanks buddy.

>>37677713
I'm not your buddy, pal.

>>37677729
okay then nvm

Not the same guy but vagina's are pretty fucking ugly.

>>37677977
have you considered that you might be gay? im being serious

>>37678058
or maybe, asexual? assuming you finds dicks gross too.

I'm on Time Warner. Should I be worried?

>>37678196
Yeah, they're really bad about piracy

>>37678196
fuckers torrent my music all the time

>>37678261
Shit. Even on private trackers like what.cd?

>tfw just got what account

>>37678327
You should be fine on what

>>37678327
Just avoid public trackers

>>37678382
Will do. Does Rutracker count as public? I assume so even if you have to make account.

>>37678416
lol

>>37677663
they're all true

id rather dl a torrent in 5 minutes than scour the web for half an hour to jack off

>>37678416
I haven't been hassled with ru, just from my days using piratebay and kickasstorrent did I ever get letters

I use a server in France to download everything and then I download it from them through Filezilla

>>37678058
beef curtains are really fucking ugly

>>37678327
I wouldn't worry. Stick to not downloading popular pleb shit and you won't have problems. Especially on What

>>37678428
k
>>37678445
Good stuff. Thanks for the info.

>>37678464
lol

the only thing i've ever gotten a letter for is downloading an aziz ansari comedy special. fuck that guy

>>37678058
You sound mad insecure. There's nothing attractive looking about them.

>>37678510
did he send the letter? that sounds more like a comedy central/viacom thing
