i got caught using ares (kind of like limewire) HELP!?!?

Question

Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) sent my mom an e-mail through cox that they caught me sharing/downloading a song. right now-akon. they wrote the ip address and it matched my laptops address! so i think it happened because i synced all my songs from ares to my brother's cell phone. and maybe just that song had the copyright. so they said this was a warning and if i get caught again, they will suspend my mom's internet service.
im so scared! i promised myself to not sync songs anymore, unless i buy them from itunes.

but i'm wondering would they be able to catch me again if i continue to download songs from ares?(NOT Sync them but only download them?)
please help! best answer 10 points!!

Answer 1

yes, yes they can track everything you do online, your ISP records everything you do anyway and now that you have had a warning they will be watching you far closer so there will be a much higher chance of you getting caught, i would just stop doing it if i was you or face having your internet cut and possibly even having your IP black listed

Answer 2

They didn't catch you syncing anything. They know that you downloaded the song from wherever you got it. The don't know anything about syncing devices...they can se the data being downloaded from the remote site to your computer if they want.



You need to stop stealing music. Now. Never mind trying to get around it. Just stop.

Answer 3

Yes. The RIAA doesn't give a crap who syncs songs. They caught you using Ares. Stop using Ares.

Answer 4

get the sender to rename them and split them in two and no-one would have a clue what you are doing, I am amazed that sharers have not worked out a way to download anything privately

Answer 5

first of all you have posted an illegal question so I can see why you are in trouble for illegal activities. as far as usage of copyrighted songs go-dont use them except if you keep them and not exploit them commercially like your brothers cell phone.
