Man this blows, the week I decide to start using torrents I get fucking slammed with a letter saying im getting sued. And Im a broke college student so Ive got no cash to spend on anything for a long ass time. How do people still not believe that the world is out to get me?

It was for downloading a season of the office, first and only thing I have ever gotten off of torrents. I dont know how much its gonna cost, but I got a letter from charter communications say they have data proving a computer at my home downloaded this and I will be contacted by copyright people blah blah blah Anyone have any guesses at what it may cost?

From CHARTER?
Your own high-speed company is trying to fuck you?
Get the word out, I'm sure a lot of charter customers would like to know their ISP is trying to fuck their asses.

You might not get sued. Not until you receive something that SAYS your ass is getting sued. I think that's just a warning telling you to cease and desist. People have gotten 'em before without being sued.

IME you just get a letter saying it happened and that if it continues, you'll be terminated from your internet. Unless you've been seeding a bunch of stuff from your IP. Then you get sued.

I reiterate, charter is trying to fuck you.
An example with another outcome:
the assfuckers try to go after a verizon customer, and get shat on.

Yeah man don't panic yet. Wait it out and see if you get another letter. I doubt you will hear anything more about it.

It will be pretty hard to prove that it was someone in your household who did it. It's probably a scare tactic, but maybe not. Good luck.
