Bit torrent

[KT84]

How legal is this?

My computer goes for an anual pc check with pc world, can i get "done" for having it on my computer?

If it is illegal can the downloads be raced and could i get prosocuted?

[quickthinker]

You could get prosecuted but not prosocuted

Why would anyone take there computer to PC World for a 'PC Checkup' ?

What a waste of time and money

The only thing that you can get 'done' for is copyrighted material, It is unlikely PC World would report this as if it got out that they reported someone they would lose all business.

Isn't that what happened to Gary Glitter? (Different material obviously, but wasn't it when he put his computer in for checking?)

[KT84]

i think he had pictures on his computer, the sick twisted idiot.

agree with quickthinker-pcworld will stick the old vacuum cleaner on for a couple of minutes and move on to the next mug, i mean job

[guyaman]

Take THEIR computer, not THERE computer. Sorry quickthinker but you did it to KT84...!!

[wideboy]

There, there now!

[Mattk]

i have to agree with quickthinker - why on earth would you pay for pc world to look at your pc ?

what do you think they will do for your money ? de-frag it and clear ie history most probably !

[KT84]

My lap top is covered for damage with them, she pc check just comes with the cover.  If i did not have the cover i wouldnt bother with their pc check thingy.

Hang on, hang on!

Bit torrent is a software package. You will not be reported for having this on your computer.

As with previous situations, the software can't be blamed as there is also many legal files available thorugh the service.

And Gary Glitter was not arrested for having bit torrent, he was arrested for being a dirty, vile paedophile.

I personally wouldn't take my pc to PC world, It's hard enough to get anyone to serve you, why would it be any better getting to service your pc. Have a look here

Or

http://www.download.com

There are so many free cleanup programs available. And guides to keep your pc in tip top shape.

Don't bother wasting the money for a service.

Unless you're a dirty perve and then go ahead. ;-)

Ok gayman er guyaman, fair enough, I have come to the conclusion that my english A levels are totally wasted.

I`ll admit it, I was wrong, I shall now leave the country for Tibet and do 10 years studying and contemplation in a hope one day I shall be able to return with my head held high, and to be able to converse with fellow answerbankers ( ooo err )

can't believe dickstinker i mean quickthinker got upset about someone correcting him when he started this thread with his arsy comments - what a fool

if you have material on the laptop that you have broken copyright to recieve you have committed a crime - though i doubt pc world would report you... but it is theft so i guess it depends on who is working there that day and if they feel mean

undercovers- im taking a totally impartial view of this but your comments about quickthinker are unnecessary
