Sharing information on social media is common for many people nowadays, but it’s not always without consequence. In some cases, simple ‘likes’ can be used as evidence in court, as a Florida man recently discovered. His Star Wars and Minion ‘likes’ were presented as evidence to support allegations he may be a prolific BitTorrent pirate.

You should assume that dbzer0 will eventually get a legal request to turn over records.

      They don’t jail you, they take every penny you’ve ever had or will have for the rest of your life.

      It’s only fair, you becoming destitute for liking a post is far better than the risk that they didn’t get their $24.95 from you. /s
