Funny thing about the laws in USA is the illegal downloading and copyright infringement laws also state that you are not allowed to lend or borrow copy-written materials (such as movies and games) from others without written consent from its the copyright holder. You also cannot view copy-written material unless all parties either have written consent or own said material. Basically you can't rent a movie and watch it with your family for fear of copyright infringement in USA though the only sue the down-loaders and copiers.

FTFY

It just bugs me no end when people do that. 'Right' and 'write' may be pronounced similarly, but they're not the same thing.

but it is copyright... copywrite is something different

EDIT: just kidding, i didn't see that you changed it until later, i thought you just bolded it

No, copywrite is not a word.

Edit: But it does have a meaning.

CappinHoff:
Also on this subject. You are no safer with a public tracker or a private tracker. In the end they are all the same. Also your ISP is responsible for giving out the infringement letters. Several ISP's still don't send them out and ignore. I used to work for Mediacom Cable and they would send out the letters. I have Qwest and they don't send out the letters.
