yes you can get caught and fined. it is just like Limewire. P2p it self is illegal. there is not a big chance getting caught but as i said its illegal.
Edition by Canada_Master:
No its not, p2p as in peer to peer file sharing it self it NOT illegal, the TECHNOLOGY it self that permits you to share your OWN material that you made your self, or materials that other made them selves with permission to re-share freely with other people, such as GNU, etc its NOT illegal. Whats IS illegal is the sharing of COMMERCIAL COPYRIGHTED CONTENT where owners tries to sale such content and the user uses the perfectly legal P2P TECHNOLOGY to share these copyrighted materials.
I heavily rely on P2P to share my independently created contents such as video, audio and PDF eBooks that I have written my self with others free of charge, now THAT you can do.

∙ 8y agoYou can easily get arrested and go to jail for as much as 20 years for using Frostwire, because of all the kiddie porn and the ongoing federal stings. Downloading frostwire or limewire is just asking for the FBI to come seize your computer, to grow old in prison with a bunch of perverts, and be a registered sex offender for the rest of your miserable life after you get out.
"Police arrested Kuntz in March as part of the Frosty Lime Squeeze child pornography sting. Authorities arrested 39 suspected perpetrators during the sting, including 11 in Utah County alone. The sting was named for the FrostWire and LimeWire file-sharing networks.
