So this was the cable company basically spying on you? Don't see how the copyright owner could have got the bit-torrent info.

All hail the new internet nazi regeime. annoy:

how much power do they have outside of the U.S though...? I only ever hear about american victims of this sort of thing.

they just started pwning college kids who pirate stuff over the school internet provider. 20 or so kids got calls from the RIAA.

ur fuked

At least you were caught downloading something cool and not "The OC" or "Gilmore Girls". biggrin:

ahahahah fuckin owned

and thats not good, comcast could legally ban you from using their services if they wanted

Just ignore it.

Well he got it from a torrent site, not a newsgroup which is the preferred method to keep your shit safe. I dont know too much about how BT works, but at the least I know IP's are visible from the people you are getting info from. Wouldnt be too difficult to go from there.

Comcast isnt tracking anything - I'm sure NBC/Universal is though.

Comcast is probably covering their asses to make sure NBC/Universal doesn't sue them.

Comcast is known to be one of the worst ISPs in terms of illegal downloaders prosecuted.

how do you use newsgroups to download stuff?

Yes, it is NBC that is tracking it. I got a similar e-mail from my ISP about a month ago. However they sent me a link to NBC's copyright infringement thing and just said to click a link saying you will remove the file from your computer blah blah. Like that really stopped me from downloading other stuff rolleyes:

Sounds like just a warning to me. But if it was me I'd format my drives. >.>

well, do you have a link or something?

No, i've never used newsgroups before so i'm clueless about them. Thanks. I'll take a look at the links.

TGB, break this down big bird style for me, how do they work?

i wish the riaa would try and find me. There will be another brian nichols up in this muthafucka, 4real shawty.

nah j/p. My first response to this shit was "hell, i have like thousands of movies and shit and they get me for fuckin heroes"? axxo mothafucka's

oOo:

You sign up with one of these pay-to-play sites, and then use a newsreader to scan the internets for digital media.

Its essentially a P2P file-sharing set-up, except youre the only person downloading from the other guy, and youre downloading at your ISP's maximum speed, w/o the other guy ever keeping any record of what it is your snatching. New media is available usually minutes/hours after it is dropped to the general public, and the only limit is how much you can actually leech. It isnt trackable, because there are no records kept - the only thing you ISP will see, is that youre using a shitload of bandwidth (if you choose to be one of those 100G a month downloaders).

Of course the drawback is that is that you have to pay for it. Also, my "tastes" run to the esoteric on some items, so I still have to use BT to find shit - but thats rare. Generally if a Newsgroup doesnt have it (alt.binaries.cd.image.playstation2 for example) - its not out there.

Many sites have free trials (Giganews for one) to show you the wonders of the Newsgroup.

So long story short:

Pros: Faster download, more security
Cons: Cost

When AOL closed down the private rooms that allowed folks to download files, this is where I turned to.
