Well, if the government is looking at my computer right now, I hope they don't mind if I address them personally.

*ahem*

Dear government,
If you can see this post, shame on you. Why in the world are you wasting time and money watching the activities of a computer that belongs to a teenager in the Pacific Northwest rather than attending to matters of national security? I'm afraid there's no terrorist activities or plots of treason or anarchy to be found here, just some video games and a few nice music playlists. Feel free to help yourselves, though I honestly fail to see how they will allow you feel validated in your quest to make this nation safe. Then again what do I know?

Cheers.

well if they are they are going to have problems getting through my custom firewall but who cares? If they are:
1) we've elected morons
2) i would be in jail already
3) I own an apology to all the crazy conspiracy theorists I've broken emotionally over the years

Can you give me one valid reason why any government would spend millions of dollars and employ possibly hundreds of workers to spy on peoples internet activities?

yeah, I read that. I have downloaded many torrents without any repercussions. I understand why they do it but getting you for songs is overboard. There really needs to be a restriction for what they can bust you for.

Got it. Never looking at porn again.
No, this is when you look at more porn to distract them from the 70 torrents you are running at the same time.

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.
That's a good point.
There are people doing worse things than piracy on the internet, if they really were monitoring us they would have arrested everyone with an illegal fetish by now.

My thoughts are you shouldn't take what an internet comedy site says to heart. While some of it may be true, and its also the reason why I don't pour my life into the internet, unlike what most people seem to do.
And 7 posts in someone hits the nail on the head. Sweet. Yeah, although entertaining, the articles on cracked are largely for entertainment value and should be taken with a handful of salt. There are some facts there but they're often buried beneath the ludicrous subject matter.

If a murderer writes a post on a board saying he's going to murder someone and his IP address is traced back to him he gets put in the slammer. If ISP guys are dicks then they will sell your info but assuming that is generally not the case, since selling tons of info will get you sued and loss customers, it seems like it would not normally be a problem. Just because someone has some info on you doesn't mean it will do anything more then sit on a server someone for a few years "just in case" for legal reasons. Stop being so paranoid.
