Poll: You are being watched.

[Counterwise]

Luckily, here where i live, the only thing they keep track on is what IP addresses you connect with. Since i have a dynamic IP, and they can't record any data that I've accessed, I'm pretty calm about it. Also, no government or court would pursue suing individuals who have downloaded a few songs, movies or games.
Having said that, i don't condone piracy, everything I've downloaded i try to acquire legally. Since I'm on an allowance i can't get more than 1-2 albums of music every month, but some albums are unobtainable here like "Conan the barbarian OST".
I'm a hard-to-impress gamer, so i buy games on a demo basis, but i do it rarely and with lowered price games. The price they are asking here for a new game is ludicrous considering the regular income, and in most cases, higher than in the US or UK.

 

[Marter]

I doubt that anyone is tracking me. I don't do enough bad things online.

 

[Ironic Pirate]

Alright, from now on we speak in code. To say "Hello, how are you?", we use "The president dies tonight", "Fine, thanks" is now "Our man is disabling the security systems as we speak".

1. Start using code.
2. Start stopwatch.
3. Time how long it takes to be Party V&.
4. ????
5. Profit!

The wabbit is in the woods, repeat, the wabbit is in the woods. Elmer Fudd is NOT in position!

I don't really care. If they are watching what I look at on the internet (which I doubt), they really need to get a life.

I don't really care. If they are watching what I look at on the internet (which I doubt), they really need to get a life.

But, they're getting paid.

 

[teutonicman]

If that was true they'd catch me beating off a lot.

ChatRoulette, anyone?

 

[manythings]

I believe it is called Google...

 

[The Red Spy]

The anonymity of the internet is dying slowly, it was always going to happen and it is really your own fault if you're actually caught through this method... Even so whatever evidence they could gather wouldn't be used in a court of law, who's to say it wasn't someone else using your computer or you allow friends round to use the computer? I don't know about the states, but if whatever IT was got presented in court here (UK) I could only see it being laughed out of the court and leaving the prosecutors open to couter-lawsuits. The information gathered would only help found an investigation, no one gives a toss at whatever porn you recently downloaded...

 

[DefunctTheory]

*Sigh*

It's been known for years that ISPs maintain records of internet traffic, for anything from statistical profiling to, yes, investigative purposes.

However, your information is not being monitored. It gets put into databases and sits there until deletion time. Your information will not see the light of day unless the government already suspects you of something, and at that point, well, you're probably already screwed. If the government was REALLY tracking your every move, every pedophile in the world would be locked up already.

 

[RamirezDoEverything]

Depends on who...

FBI/police=meh, I havent done anything wrong
Hostile Aliens=pretend candy is humankind's weakness
Friendly Aliens= continue on what I was doing, allow them to study me...
my family= put my pants on
my girlfriend= scratch nuts

 

[rokkolpo]

all sounds kinda kinky to me.
*being watched*

 

[Aesir23]

Well, I've downloaded thousands of songs for free over the years and I haven't been carted off to jail yet.

 

[thenumberthirteen]

Really? Oh well bye everyone I'm off to jail now. See you all in 10-15 years.

[Tharwen]

I honestly don't care if I'm being watched. It's not like the people watching me do.

 

[Eggsnham]

Don't care. It's not a big deal, because in fifty years, when I'm ruling the world, none of this will matter. because while I have ADD and Clinical Depression, I am not paranoid.

 

[Troublesome Lagomorph]

It doesn't freak me out but it annoys me a little.

 

[sirkai007]

(Weird i voted that i don't care yet it says i voted yes)

I don't give a damn because i generally don't use my real name on sites unless I'm buying something from a website.

Maybe your ISP made you choose yes!
