you have received a love letter from our precious internet cops. my money is going on & staying on the word that nothing will happen to you. i've gotten one warning from the RIAA but that was in my internet idiot days. learn how to pirate and protect yourself like a pro and this type of thing won't happen

if you do they'll probably throw a lot of harsh words w/ no meaning at you. it's not worth suing one guy who downloaded one season.. worst case scenario expect charter to cancel your net. i wouldn't sweat this. i'd count this one event as all 3 strikes though, your ass is out. don't let them catch you slippin anymore.

I got an infringement notice from Comcast for downloading Season 3 of The Office too. I'm not getting sued though, it was just a warning letter. I wouldn't sweat it if I were you, just be more careful.

it's from using public trackers man, using places like isohunt could be the equivalent of just emailing the feds asking them to arrest you for piracy. torrents are great but are just plain unsafe, be careful where you download.

it's not a lawsuit until you get served with official documents.
Besides, wouldn't they technically be suing *your parents* cuz you were at *their* house using *their* internet connection? After your dad clears up the fact that it wsan't *him*, THEN they will come after you!

Thats some bullshit man. Lets just say if I had been pirating for the last 4 years, I would have downloaded 8000+ songs, 500+ movies/tv shows, operating systems, and countless games and applications for myself and everyone I know. Since I havent been doing that, at all or ever, I guess thats why I havent gotten any letters. But if I were using p2p to do all that, I would probably use uTorrent with encryption enabled and keep a backup of my stockpile on an external, just in case shit hit the fan and I had to take a shotgun to my hard drive, but I would never do something like that.

Wow, what a weird coincidence. Just yesterday my sister calls me on the phone while im at work. Now usually, she's asking me techinical questions on how to convert movie torrents or burn them or something. Anyways, she tells me that her DSL had stopped working and she got a call from someone at the DSL company saying they know she's been downloading copyrighted movies on the internet (shrek 3). She just played dumb, saying she doesnt know much about computer and said it was probably her son who did it (he's only 3. lol) In the end, they just wanted her to delete the movie and they turned her DSL back on.
So, i think the worst case scenario is you might loose your ISP but i doubt it. They want jo0r moneyz.

I know of an easy way to save yourself! Go out and buy that season of The Office, because it is legal to download something you already physically own. 40$ sure beats thousands+ legal fees.
