(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Alright guys so the other day I doing my regular daily dose of dubstep listening (excision shambhala 2013) and I was searching the tracks in the mix that I liked. I usually download the tracks by just doing a simple google search and find a download via mediafire, zippy, etc. Then before downloading the 5th or 6th song a scary idea popped into my head.

What if the US government started putting "fake" files of mainstream music onto the internet, and record the i.p.'s of who downloads it, to try and crack down on illegal music downloading?

I mean I know that ISP's are doing this with torrents, putting fake people to download a torrent and then take the i.p.'s of all the seeders to that torrent. They then report seeders of a file to the ISP and if any i.p. matches your's they can then take legal action (of course the ISP can only take action on THEIR costumers)

So what do you guys think? Do you think the US government could do this? are they already doing it?

Leave what you think down below.

Personally I believe this could eventually happen; it would be fairly easy to do.

This is why you shouldn't do drugs kids..

enlighten me on how you think this could never happen, due to the fact that your comment infers that.

I would If I could but I don't wanna man.
We all have our theories, but I don't think the fbi cares about torrents as much as they care about the deepweb/Tor

This is taking conspiracy theories too far. The government has more salient agendas than taking down music heads.

They are looking for pedos

They have Chris Hansen for that.

I don't think so, why would the US government do this. The MPAA might, but not the government.

it wont happen. The government has other problems to worry about
