so i dl'ed some heroes eps,i cant watch because of work.so i happen to check my *** email and got a letter from anti internet piracy group stating they have recieved a notification of me using *** internet commit copyright infringment via bit torrent. blah blah blah....i had a friend get one of these a while ago,he had the internet service provider email as well...should i get rid of mine.what should i do.?
when i had cable america i never had this problem,and same for when i had *** in tucson.very weird,and annoying. for i am one to buy cd's,dvds..and for one,nbc post the heroes eps on there damn website,quality is ____ty though.

 

Holy cow! Damn the man! I don't know what to tell you but that stinks.

 

Just ignore it and quit sharing, I got the same thing myself from comcast. I feel like a leech downloading then not seeding but its not worth the outcome if you get bopped.

 

It's there "not-so-nice" way of telling you to get their DVR service

 

I hide my IP. I did get a call from my internet provider saying that I uploaded a lot of stuff, but he didn't know what.

 

It might just be a scare tactic. *** does not give it's subscriber information unless court ordered. I would lay low for a while or just start paying for the stuff you want.

 

One of my friends got caught. I think it was *** or Comcast or something, but they sent him an email saying they know he downloaded this one movie and they had the name of the movie, how big the file was, how long he took to download it, and how much he uploaded it. He layed low for about a month and a half, and they didn't take any legal action, so he's back in business.

 

yah im thinking scare tatic,im gonna lay low,might have to resort to buying my eps through i tunes.I never knew this crap would happen to me,i been using bit torrent since 2003.

 

big brother is always watching...this creeps me out a bit.

 

I typically dl stuff I already have. Sometimes it is just easier that looking through all my cds. Just do a quick search and dl it. With *** it comes down so fast.

They may investigate me for dling stuff, but I own the cd.

 

Definitely not a scare tactic, my friend worked for *** and they will in fact discontinue your service. They have a 3 strikes policy though, so if thats your first one its not a big deal. When contacted by an agency, they don't give out any of your information, they just email the account that the ip was active on then add a black mark to your account. It's pretty sad that they do this for publicly aired television shows, but they don't want you skipping commercials without paying for their dvr service, like many other cable providers

 

If they were going after you, you wouldn't know until you were arrested or subpeonaed

 

There is a thing called an IP Blocker, You use it when downloading things like that. Just add it to whatever download client you are using

 

I've been downloading music, movies, games, apps...everything for about 4 years and haven't received anything like that. And i'm not even behind a firewall.

 

Xenon_tC are you using there ***.email ?

 

I use Hide IP. It runs all the time it's on. It's a pay thing, but I got it with a keygen.

 

ah i see...those bastards are probably reading this right now.is that going too far?
