How likely is it that you are caught downloading illegal p2p files? (Music, Movies, Etc..)

Very unlikely. There are millions of people like you who are illegally downloading everyday. It would be impossible to track, identify, and arrest every one, which is why, law enforcement's efforts to curb it makes no difference.

rare of rare
unless the police keylog you or check your data transmission through your ISP

i don't use torrent just so u know =P

Well i only use on occasions if the new silkroad client has alot of seeds


EDIT:
@Silo

From what i've heard, it really depends on your internet provider, its their discretion to turn in your download log. And also, the more megabytes u download, the higher the risk

Who cares about the police. You should be worried about civil suits.

You might recieve an unexpected lawsuit from the RIAA/MPAA =D

for free music use windows movie maker. cant go wrong there!

Out of the millions of people that pirate things, its not like they're gonna catch you specifically and hunt you down. However, there has been reports of some games that have been flagged by Copywrite (in this case, they call your ISP and your ISP sends you a warning)

MPAA is a bitch though. Also, your ISP does not monitor what you do, the copyright corporations do however, your ISP doesnt really care but in the US they basically forced the ISPs to cooperate with them or would get huge law suits. The way they catch people though they blacklist some torrents...and they put a tracker up with a honey pot file and when you connect and download it and/or upload it back they figured things out, get your IP, ISP. Tell your ISP then your ISP will contact you..

Move to europe .. excluding the UK ofcourse.

Europe is sooo lax on this shit, the worst that'll happen is a temp slow down of your connection lol.

thats exactly how microsoft fcked a bunch fo pirates up, they released a list of valid volume xp activation keys, so noobs just use those since a sht load of people can use those same keys. a months pass by, microsoft releases this update patch, (valid key = free updates). BAM, next thing you know you cant even log into xp b/c you support piracy, all data are gone unless you really buy a xp key

Yeah, you're right. I'm from Croatia and I download via torrent a lot. I've NEVER heard of anyone getting caught for illegal download EVER. It just doesn't happen. Only when you massively sell illegal copies but that's another story. Nobody will catch you for downloading stuff.
