Comcast copywrite infringement emails

[Sirban]

Anyone with Comcast or AT&T start to get those emails? You get them if you download a torrent. They threaten to take your internets after a certain amount of violations. How would you get around it? Word on the street you can get a VPN service, but im not sure how those work either. Halp

It's pretty easy to not get those letters. That being said I have received a few myself, always for some shit my Ex-GF downloaded. Some people say Peer-Block helps, I'm not so sure. A VPN would certainly help, but those cost money. I think I got about five of those E-mails, never got shut off, and they never specified how many more chances I would get, LOL!

This also might help:

Have you tried paying for your software?

Funny enough I mostly steal software and never get them, only ever saw the notices for Ex-GF downloading the newest movies and episodes from the largest swarms (and one pornographic indiscretion).

it depends on what they are obligated to do now... it used to be they became obligated (why i dont know, a law? policy?) to inform you if THEY received an infringement notice from someone that your ip downloaded something... pretty vague, and thats why you dont need to really worry unless ur at a college network

better than the tactics predatory firms would use to extort money by directly contacting the IP holder (by pretending to have authority to get your info from the cable company).

these firms would pay people to host real torrents then try to sue people for downloading... i got a letter for downloading that hustler's version of james camerons avatar...i threw the letter in the trash with my kleenex

Supposedly Peer-block's IP ban list encompasses these guys' IP address, I can't imagine this is good enough though.
