Isohunt.... is gone!

A mate of mine, a local bloke, got nicked for downloading movies right here in Singapore. Kena fined SGD8K.

He wasn't a distributor, although he admitted he was quite a heavy user.

I reckon they look at bandwidth outliers.

Anyways, FYI.

How long ago was that?

Question for the rest - would a VPN prevent this?

A while back, 5+ years.

Are you serious? Did they pick this up in other matters (i.e. a vice or drug raid)? That's how it used to happen in the days of obscene VCD's anyways.

No. He got nicked for downloading only.
