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?
