<p>"The RIAA sues individuals not for how many songs they download but for how many times each of their shared songs is downloaded."</p>

<p>conflicts with the statement above me. unless your friend unintentionally allowed uploading.. & this does mean that I can download everything I want, just as long as i'm an *** and don't contribute anything back, right? & bittorrent is probably safe with movies, right? I mean what are the chances that someone could share a full movie to one person through bittorrent? am i getting this right?</p>

<p>& i don't know how nyu internet works. based on what i know about another college, does not one have to register his/her cards in order to gain access? wouldn't they still be able to trace you through wifi?</p>
