All these files are on my laptop, so I could hide it in a locker or something and they'd never be able to prove a damn thing. My PC would be searched, nothing would be found (not even a file sharing program), apology accepted, have a nice day. But the MPAA is not the RIAA, in that they are quite nice and they give you warnings, as in "please stop doing illegal stuff." Being a fan of the MPAA, and not wishing to hurt their feelings, I shall humor them.

But the odds of me being in trouble are slim. As long as they can't track anything else, nobody'll say a damn thing. I mean, seriously, ONE MOVIE? Get real.

It's weird that they're targeting my school, as we are very small, and our copyright violation specialist told me that several people were being targeted this week, AS IF WE WERE UNDER DIRECT INSPECTION. Frankly, I don't know if that's true or just conspiracy theory stuff ("Well, Frank, let's check out everything Random University is downloading today. Hey, look-- Beauty and the Beast. Let's nail this sucker."). If you play dumb long enough, I think they'll go away.

Thanks for being concerned, though.
