I'm taking my list down as I won't be able to download or upload anymore due to a call to me from Time Warner (our internet company) saying that they have been monitoring my account for sometime and that if I continue to download anything illegally they will prosecute and this is okay because they just recently changed their policy. Soooo yeah, I just wanted to let everyone know. I'll still be here though and I'll answer any questions you all have if I can.

[Edit] Actually nevermind that, I'm not taking my list down, people can still take from my posts, and I can send ebooks from another location as well as get them.

That really sucks. Is there another internet provider you can change to, one who does not derive income from books?

I don't know, I haven't really checked. It's my mom's internet though so even if there was it would be up to her. But I do know that I can use other peoples internet (like the libraries) to get my books still. My friend pointed that out the other day.

You know I had the same issue when my son and I were downloading movies. Any large file has a much greater chance of getting you caught than the little books we submit. Plus it was torrents that got us noticed. I backed off for a month & quit dl'ing movies & have been fine for 5 years with the same provider lol.

I was downloading shows and music as well as books on here. And I haven't downloaded since that call but I'm scared. I don't think I'll download anything at home again lol. I'll just do it at the library or some other location (that's not Time Warner) and bring the stuff home.

Sounds like a plan. You can always ask to have someone email you too. I'd be happy to email you a book I have.

Especially those new releases!!! We can't expect you to wait for those!
