[quote="TGB!":f2970][quote:f2970]So this was the cable company basically spying on you? Don't see how the copyright owner could have got the bit-torrent info. [/quote:f2970]

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.[/quote:f2970]

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:
