Wierd sounds like you are caught red handed man if you truely did download that dvd you have been caught by them. Now if thats the case that $20 you saved may very well cost you up to 10k in court!

They can still find it on your hdd if you were taken to court they would sieze your pc and to do a recover and they can actually take a 0ed out hdd and go back 5 layers to find material on it if they need it.

If they have proof like that, yes they can take you to court. Will they.? Probably not, but you never know. Dont forget just because you deleted something, that does not mean that the proof is not still on the HD. So if it Does go to court they can take your HD and other things as evidence.

I have a service account through insight as i work for them they are owned by and are basically comcast with a differnt name if you were using over 5mbs for a sustained period of time a packet sniffer was put into place to see waht you were doing thats where they found this info. This is a warning from them if they catch it again you will be turned over they are not playing around anymore as they can be liable if you are not turned over.
