Walu,<div><br></div><div>Your message has arrived in good order.</div><div><br></div><div>I didn't say zero - I just alluded to the fact that there are other cyber-threats that might have a higher priority than concerns over "Desperate Housewives Season 7" copyright issues.</div>
<div><br></div><div>But as I watch CNN and see the exposé on how Al-Qaeda operatives were found with hundreds of documents hidden in encrypted form in what for all intents and purposes was a "normal" pornographic video file stored on a standard memory stick - then all of a sudden torrents jump closer to the top in terms of priority since they are the primary means by which (a lot) porn is "shared"....</div>

<br>Meanwhile, Google is chucking moderated results and outrightly refusing to respond to others like "Tiananman Square" (-1 for Joe M ;-). I want to keep trying this search key but fear someone might trace my IP and knock at my door at midnite - shivering :-(<br>

<p>The Swedish website hosts links to mostly pirated free music and videos.</p>
