Actually, anyone can follow the file sharing here without being on this
list. Just do a Yahoo or Google search. While you can't post unless you're
a member, you can read. There is probably a way to make this group private,
but that doesn't prevent Yahoo from monitoring what goes on here. The truth
is that I found the password for Nylon with a Google search in about 30
seconds. Even if I didn't know such a site existed, it is mentioned in his
signature. I had more trouble with Yahoo searches, but found several
references to ftp sites and download links posted here in the past.
Uploading a double zip file with a password does no good as the download
links are still visible.

My guess is that probably they did a series of automated searches and caught
you that way. After all, your request for TV recordings is fairly obvious.
With search engines updating sites almost instantly, it's a matter of hours
before they catch on. You could go through the list of members and cut off
anyone who looks suspicious, but I very much doubt that it'll do much good.
I had no problem finding a permanent link to any previous post in the
archive for this group. I'm assuming they don't bother you as much about
the radio shows because they're already issued as podcasts and have less
commercial value, besides being available from the IPlayer. I don't see any
good solution except to not share files on the web.
