Cut off by NBC

So my downloading days are over. For movies anyway.
I got the cease and desist order that's been making its
rounds from NBC. And they do nail the odd person so
I'm not taking any chances.



And I was just getting so good at it.
I finally understand codecs, SVCD and such
and they cut me off. Buggers. But I suppose it's fair.
But it still sucks. However, there are still lots of legal
torrents, with excellent documentaries and movies.
Older movies but legal to download. Oh well,
