Don't tell all these users that their networks are now defunct! Plus these stats don't include the winmx network which numbers in the millions at any given time.

I use verified links from filesharing forums. Even if they were to fake there then someone would let others know pretty soon that that was the case and the releaser would get banned. Usenet is sporadic at best. Most newsfeeds (Especially free ones) have bad feeds and lots of incompletes. Uploading to usenet can be risky too. I got a letter from a studio via my ISP for uploading a movie to usenet once. I'd say usenet is way more risky than P2P. Which is why I rarely use the search option in eMule.

If i was still using a now-defunct p2p client like kazaa or winmx, theres such a thing as "preview mode" so you can see if the video is really the movie or not within a matter of no time. Commonly, its a blank movie, other times its mislabeled crap, like anime and other useless garbage. That takes care of that problem. 2. I use the newsgroups, the most loved and hated filesharing system in the world, still 100% anonymous by means of transfer and sharing. Upload the file once: Millions can grab it. :) This is why the studio networks and Riaa dont make this into a news topic, they know if they censor any discussion about it people will remain ignorant to its being. (Ironically though, usenet has been around way before the internet, p2p, or even software started to become commercially available. While these guys were in pampers, doing the studio's bidding, files were transfered by this means for many years) This doesnt help nor discourage me personally, for a few reasons:
