Well, it is easier to track you. You have lesser privacy.

An example: I know that software piracy is not taken very seriously in India but what if the Government one day decides that they are going to punish software pirates. Well, all they would have to do is search for your name and there would be a blog post by you, right on the first page of Google, advocating piracy and giving a detailed account of all the stuff you've downloaded thus far. Makes the job a tad easier for them, don't you think?

Putting your name on Google's search results is a very easy job. All you have to do is sign up on public forums with your name and the number of search results will keep piling up. But the point is, do you want that to happen?

This is never gonna happen.Even people in US do piracy, and download software from torrents and other P2P.If you care so much,than hide your identity while doing any cyber crime.And I don't use any pirated software...And for this reason only I am not able to use vista . But for sure I will use vista one day.I am saving some money every month......I may buy little earlier if I earn something from my hosting company..or Microsoft give me another trail DVD.
