say you had the torrenting stuff open and your friends cat stepped on the keyboard and then your other friends little sister clicked the mouse randomly and it hit download

Me too, lol.

I registered just to comment on this, my mom just came in and handed me the same email that you got, but for a different movie. They just sent the email and did not call, yet atleast. I was using TPB or mininov and uTorrent, and i download a lot of tv shows, so im not sure if the fact that i was sucking up a lot of bandwidth had anything to do with it. It seems as though the MPAA just sees the IPs and notifies the ISPs, who must send out a warning. I googled for other letters and found this post, aswell as many others and i have not found any that had legal action taken against them, so we should be safe for now. Keep me posted.

it is a warning letter. they will disconnect your service if you continue doing it.

ehh....just more examples of the rich people in the riaa and mpaa who can't give up a few million of there billions a year of income. just like the gas companies this year using the hurricanes as an excuse to increase gas costs and make record profits by sucking more money out of the people.

to whoever it was that asked how they could track deleted files, when you delete stuff, its only deleted from the table on the hard drive that says where the file is located on the platters. the actual file still resides on the hard drive itself.

to the people who say it would be invasion of privacy for comcast to look in a pc...what make you think that it being illeagle will stop them? in todays world, theres no such thing as legal or illeagle. who's guilty and who's innocent only depends on who has a better lawyer to convince the jury.

didnt read all the replies, so hope im not way off the current topic on this thread...

anyway, about 2-3yrs ago a friend received a letter about pirating songs on limewire. he was authorized to pay 25k if found accused. they didn't take any legal action. he received 2-3 letters with his parents lawyer talking on a phone convo to the prosecutor's lawyer. everything was then dropped and was basically a warning.

he was using limewire and just downloading songs.. no movies or other content.

Never, ever download "borrowed" stuff at home. Put your limewire on a flash drive and go to a library or some other public computer and download it there
