I dont think they will do anything on this occasion....unless of course you keep downloading illegal stuff.

this is probably just a warning.

Just ignore that email.....dont download illegal stuff again.

I think they will be more intrested in the people who are constantly downloading illegal stuff 24/7

Notice ID:160-75191
Notice Date:27 Nov 2006 22:48:47 GMT

Dear Sir or Madam:

TWENTIETH CENTURY FOX FILM CORPORATION and its affiliated companies (collectively, "FOX") are the exclusive owners of copyrights in motion pictures.

It has come to our attention that University of Texas at Austin is the service provider for the IP address listed below, from which unauthorized copying and distribution (downloading, uploading, file serving, file "swapping" or other similar activities) of FOX'S property is taking place. The documentation included at the end of this notice specifies the location of the infringement. We believe that the Internet access of the user engaging in this infringement is provided by University of Texas at Austin or a downstream service provider who purchases this connectivity from University of Texas at Austin.

This unauthorized copying and distribution constitutes copyright infringement under Section 106 of the U.S. Copyright Act. Depending upon the type of service University of Texas at Austin is providing to this IP address, it may have legal and/or equitable liability if it does not expeditiously remove or disable access to the property listed below, or if it fails to implement a policy that provides for termination of subscribers who are repeat infringers (see, 17 U.S.C. 512).

Although various legal and equitable remedies may be available to FOX as a result of such infringement, FOX believes that the entire Internet community benefits when these matters are resolved cooperatively. We urge you to take immediate action to effect removal of the detected infringement listed in the attached report, including:

(1) Notify the account holder of this infringement
(2) Require the account holder remove the infringing material
(3) Disable access to the infringing material
(4) Take appropriate action against the account holder under your Abuse Policy/Terms of Service

We appreciate your efforts toward this common goal. Please send us a prompt response indicating the actions you have taken to resolve this matter. Please reference the above noted Notice ID 160-75191in all correspondence, which should be directed to :

Email: mailto:fox@copyright-compliance.com?subject=RE%3A%20Notice%20ID%3A%2016 0%2D75191%20Copyright%20Infringement

or http://webreply.baytsp.com/webreply/...041cbeee63745a

The undersigned has a good faith belief that use of FOX's property in the manner described herein is not authorized by FOX, its agents or the law. Also, we hereby state, under penalty of perjury, under the laws of the State of California and under the laws of the United States, that the information in this notification is accurate and that the undersigned is authorized to act on behalf of FOX with respect to this matter.

Please be advised that this letter is not and is not intended to be a complete statement of the facts or law as they may pertain to this matter or of FOX's positions, rights or remedies, legal or equitable, all of which are specifically reserved.

Here is what I responded with:

I have just received a warning that I have shared copyrighted material
on my computer. I did so in error, and once I was aware of such
actions, I promptly deleted the file. Is there any further action that
I need to take?

Thank you,

They told me that I didn't have to worry about anything, and that my action was fine. I haven't gotten anything since.

Trukin · 01-20-2007, 12:14 AM

Wow! i didn't know they tracked the IPs, but i did thought of that. Thats weird though, you should change your ISP. I have Cox, and i didn't used to use firewalls until they caught me downloading some episodes of "futurama" and my internet went down. I called them and they said they saw i had ilegal material in my pc. Some ISPs have BOTs that scan all their clients in search of ilegal material. Thats why having a firewall makes a huge difference. You shouldn't touch torrents for a while, they might be watching what you do.

red onion · 01-20-2007, 12:17 AM

I highly doubt that Cox "searches your PC"...that would be an invasion of privacy. More likely they look at the traffic in and out. Most likely nothing will happen with this...just avoid P2P for a while...and think about changing ISPs

I am not sure but i have cought them scanning my ports. But how come they saw what i downloaded? They said "We have records of you downloading ilegal episodes of Futurama" and i thought the only way they could see that was scanning me. I should get a copy of the contract ...

dmw2692004 · 01-20-2007, 12:18 AM

this is interesting, my dad is freaking out because they called him, and sent aan e-mail to the master account.

spanky · 01-20-2007, 12:21 AM

Seems like comcast would have caught on to some of my doings. I pay them and they're happy.

Emperor_nero · 01-20-2007, 01:29 AM

Sorry but I don't have any sympathy for you, if you do something you know is illegal, you know that you risk getting caught.
