Business Software Alliance caught me planting some seeds for Windowz, and notified my IP, who scolded me for being a bad person. I find it funny or a bit strange that Microsoft is still concerned about piracy with an operating system they don't even sell anymore. What should people do if they genuinely need a copy of an old Windows OS, but there are no legal venues to attain it from? At least they didn't complain about my selfless redistribution of Windows 98.

See, I never seed anything I torrent, so I'm less likely to come across such a problem.

Damn leechers...

Still, it's certainly the safe way to go about it. But I only had utorrent open for a couple hours before they sent us the notice. I never leave it on unless I'm downloading something.

Safety isn't my concern, I never have it open unless I'm downloading anyways, and I like to do other things while downloading, I don't need 50 other uploads in the background. Plus most the stuff I delete when I'm done anyway.

I'm surprised my ISP hasn't yelled at me yet.

If I can download it successfully, then there is already PLENTY of seeders. =P
