They don't keep a record of messages, just links and downloads to make sure no piracy is going on.  Read it.  It's in messengers "agreement" you say "I agree" to when installing the application (which no one reads by me it seems)

They're probably lying to you, but it's best to be safe.  If you really wanna get LBT vids the illegal way, don't ask others to put their necks on the line (and don't do it yourself).  They can go get a torrent or you can always make a torrent if you wanna give the file to someone else.  That's the least risky thing anyways.  In conclusion, why not just buy the vids?  They're not expensive or anything and it's not worth someone getting caught over it.  The only way I can justify you downloading LBT vids illegally is if it's not available in your country or something but even then, the internet is available. :rolleyes:


Besides, downloading LBT 13 and not paying for it hurts Universal and it might just make them not want to make more LBT vids or not want to invest a lot of money into them if they're not making any money from them.  I'm sure no one here wants that.

I've looked through the Terms of Service, and there's nothing in it about keeping records of downloads and links. I did find something about how they *may* collect such information, but there's nothing said about them doing it 24/7, and they would need a really good reason to invade the privacy of an individual.

I have also googled about this, and have also found nothing about them keeping records of links and downloads being sent through their system.

It's only on the newer versions (8.5.1 and above)  and they say that they keep records of sent files to check for piracy.  It's not in the terms of use, but when you go and install the program, the long freaking 40 page license agreement it's in there.

It says this in the terms of use:

In particular, we may access or disclose information about you, including the content of your communications, in order to: (a) comply with the law or respond to lawful requests or legal process; (B) protect the rights or property of Microsoft or our customers, including the enforcement of our agreements or policies governing your use of the service; or © act on a good faith belief that such access or disclosure is necessary to protect the personal safety of Microsoft employees, customers or the public.


They say this because although they don't spy on your communications, such organizations such as the CRIA and other anti-piracy organizations do look at your communications and logs.  If they find anything, they tell MSN, it gives them all your personal info, and you're hauled off to jail.  It's a tricky matter.  They don't say that anti-piracy organizations are spying on you, but they also don't deny it.  The fact of the matter is, they ARE spying on you.  They are not allowed to view the content of your communications because they must comply with microsoft privacy statements, but they are allowed to view urls and download links.  The only proof I have of this is how many people are getting caught sharing music and crap off of msn.  I mean, if they're not spying on us, how did those people get caught?

I've seen that part, and I still don't believe they give out links and downloads.

And if they are spying, then some people I know should have been caught already, but they haven't.

Sorry but I would rather not feel paranoid about this whole "spying" thing.

Well, you don't have to feel paranoid unless you're sharing illegal files or copyrighted material.  It's smart just to not do it.  They're probably lying about it anyways just to try to deter people from pirating stuff using their service.  Anyways, it would be a good idea to get back on topic. :yes

Hello:
 Then that means that I must wait patiently if the DVD someday comes near my city, because if there is interest... things are always delayed to get here unless they are quite famous like some series (Lost, the 4400,... etc).
 Well, there may be still means to get stuff, like bittorrent or the very famous P2P programs.

Some dvd players can play stuff from other regions but have a hidden menu, like mine.

Lemmie guess...you live with someone else who doesn't know about your LBT obsession and you can't buy stuff of ebay because you're either not old enough or don't have a paypal or something?

Hello:
 I have no Paypal and the one that can no longer lives here (my brother) and with his daughter that will born next month he is just too busy right now.... and yes, nobody knows about my liking of TLBT, and it is not an obsession... not yet :lol .
 I may have a way to buy the DVDs, but it will take time when I plan my next trip to another city, but as I said, it will take time <_< .

I voted no because firstly, I only have three LBT movies, the first one, sixth one, and seventh one. And neither one of those movies on my computer.

Voted yes.
Have some of the series on my laptop, and LBT 1 and 10, which Pat gave me when he was here. Makes a good treat for my P2.  :^.^:

I recently got my hands on all the movies (except that *** 9th)!
So, they are open to all public who enters my territory. Can't miss 'em. On a shelf in my room.
Few people here at home know about my passion for LBT...
My family knows partly about it, I mean: "Try to NOT notice a 100 X 50 CM orginal LBT 1 poster..."  :rolleyes: They sure like my drawings though.  :)
Any friends? Nope.

I'd sure like the movies on my computer, problem is, I'm not the most talented when it comes to ripping. So if anyone would lend me his/her time to explain it, I'd be grateful.  :^.^:
Do well. Live well. And dress very well.
