I used to use µTorrent and what not then I stopped for awhile. But I wanted to download this movie (I already own it I just left it at my cabin *coughs*) and I have been hearing alot about people getting in deep $hit with people like mediasentry. Is there any thing I can do to protect my ip address or well you know what I be saying. Also I am in Canada and I think awhile back I read that they couldn't prosecute me here even if they wanted, could I get in trouble here or not? Thanks for any help.

Its legal for some one to download some thing If they already own it, making backups is perfectly legal.

Anyway, even if everybody is doing it and at the same time saying the contrary, the TOS on GS are forbiding it... how would it look if a media publisher was encouraging illegal downloads?

Umm no..torrents are not illegal. It's merely a data transfer protocol.

The distribution of copyrighted data via ANY transfer protocol is potentially illegal in many countries, though.
