Well somehow My comp got tracked pirating software like MSVS and other stuff, and my net may get disconnected by my cable company. Bye.

edit: it turns out MS reported me.

I know, I really hope I dont get sued for this, the software didnt even work :( . I thought that software was untracable, I guess I was wrong.

Pretty much everything on the internet is traceable.

Everything was traceable, even more so if you use torrents.

After the tubgirl or goatse.cx or whatever it was you spammed on the Silkgames forums, I'd like to be the first to say "You totally deserved this." Karma rules.

Are you sure? I thought torrents only kept track of certain things... not accounting for IP addresses.

Learn how to use certain proxies in the future <_<

Just don't go with AOL if you can avoid it, even though it's quite easy to frame others with it.

Because somethings need Visual C++ maybe?

Thats very rare for what I see. You just need to be more patient as the DevC++ IDE has a sticter compiler (I forgot the name though).

I've seen Shareazza and the xbox SDK (But you really arent allowed to do that). I also think that the commercial version of Qt is Visual Studio only.

Well, the software itself might have likely reported him when it went to activate online, as he was no doubt using an invalid/pirated registration code. A lot of software nowadays are picking up methods of catching false keys, such as AVG (which assumes you are a legitimate victim of a counterfeit product, rather than an evil pirate), and many others.

As for torrents, they make no attempt whatsoever to hide your IP, and about every torrent software has a nice little tab to the effect of "Peers," which usually displays anyone that you are connected to on a torrent tracker. Someone looking to enforce legal products could surely do so by nabbing the IPs from the peer-lists, and reporting them to their respective ISPs. In this case, if the software didn't catch the illegal license attempt, then there is a chance that Microsoft may have hired someone to nab as many MS-related torrents as possible and gather as many IPs as he or she can. The former is surely more likely than the latter, but it can happen.

To get around having your IP out in the open, you can use Peer Guardian 2. I constantly have it on, especially when I am downloading from a torrent program. This program is what the hardcore torrent sharers and downloaders recommend on some popular forums for torrent sharing.
