Hi, im an avid ApexDC++ user and just like many of us i have engaged in uploading files. In most countries the uploading (and in some countries even downloading) of copyrighted material is illegal. I am aware that copyright protection organizations do not bother monitoring users with a small share, but some users actively share terabytes of (possibly copyrighted) data. The IP addresses of most ApexDC++ users are public. This raises a few questions:
Can copyright protection organizations like the US-based RIAA, monitor ApexDC++ users, and could they gain enough information to go to court with it?
If so, what are the chances that copyright protection organizations would monitor me?
Is it possible to use DC++ anonymously? Like hiding my IP address or using 'fake' IP address.
How do you feel about privacy when using DC++, do you think you're safe?
