check out the above story , its so great because if you read it - by my humble calculations if there are roughly 60 million file sharers scattered around this tiny world plus or minus a few million then the chances that you will actually get caught are 0.0000001 percent or 1 in ten million users - great huh :)
Think of all the billions they have waisted trying to stop us from sharing instead of profiting like them !
Keep on sharing peoples :)

I dont get your maths iceman! 60 million files sharers, none have been caught (only people running mini-napsters) = 0% chance of getting caught. You have a 1/60,000,000 of being the first filesharer to be caught!

hey at.morris i think it is you that should check you math - there are 6 users on the list , 6 divided by 60,000000 is 0.0000001 - i should know i am an accountant!!
Try using your fingers to count in the future thicko!!

The six people on the list all made and operated sharing programs. Thats different to be a user. As an accountant, you should know that you can't divide the number of operators caught by the number of users to get a percentage. You're going to have some tough competition for your job when I graduate!
