The other day, after reading about TorrentSpy on ILX, which I'd never used before, I checked it out. I searched "Voltron". Wow! Episodes 1-58! Then, for some reasson, I took a moment to think about it and Googled "TorrentSpy trap".
Well, what do you know? All the networks, even HBO, MIAA, RIAA and many private companies put up their own torrents as traps. Then, you lose your internet service and then you get a fine of $2000 or something.
Has this happened to any one of you? I doubt it, that's why I'm offering this as a PSA / warning type of thread.
