I got this today from COX and the MPAA.
Quote:
> Dear Customer,
We are writing on behalf of Cox Communications to advise you that we have received a notification that you are using your Cox High Speed Internet service to post or transmit material that infringes the copyrights of a complainant's members. We have included a copy of the complaint letter. Pursuant to the provisions of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA"), which is codified at 17 U.S.C. § 512, upon receiving such notification, Cox is required to "act expeditiously to remove, or disable access to" the infringing material in order to avoid liability for any alleged copyright infringement. Accordingly, Cox will suspend your account and disable your connection to the Internet within 24 hours of your receipt of this email if the offending material is not removed.
Please be aware that the DMCA also provides procedures by which a subscriber accused of copyright violation can respond to the allegations of infringement and, under certain circumstances, cause his or her account to be reinstated. To do so, however, the response must meet certain criteria. Pursuant to section (g) of the DMCA (17 U.S.C. § 512(g)), you have the right to submit to Cox a counter-notification which, to be effective, must include the following elements:
(a) a physical or electronic signature of the subscriber; (b) identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or disabled; (c) a statement under penalty of perjury that the subscriber has a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled; (d) the subscriber's name, address, and telephone number and a statement that the subscriber consents to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which the address is located.
In the event that you submit to Cox a counter-notification that includes these elements, Cox will forward your counter notification to the complainant and advise them that Cox will cease disabling access to the allegedly infringing material in ten (10) business days. Unless the complainant notifies us that it has filed an action seeking a court order to restrain you from engaging in the allegedly infringing activity prior to the expiration of those ten (10) business days, Cox will reactivate your account.
Please refer to this help article for more information: http://support.cox.com/sdccommon/asp/contentredirect.asp?sprt_cid=c2a30ae8-d706-4f6e-beb9-618ea54d1791
Sincerely,
Cox Customer Security
Pretty gay. Im not a business man but going after your customers (referring to the MPAA) is never a good idea. I go to the movies every weekend to see a movie and yet they still want to throw me in jail for downloading shitty ass movies that my girlfriend wants to see. Fucked up.
Is there anyway to DL movies without it being traced? I have been using torrents.

I dont. The funny part is they only caught me on one move, The Heartbreak Kid. I thought they would be happy that someone wanted to see it.

Check out newsgroups. They are the safest I think (though I am too stupid to understand them)
Otherwise, private trackers ,peer guardian, and stay away from new(er) movies. These will help, but are not perfect.
I got caught by cox for DL Harry Potter.

Now, do I need to do anything in response to this letter or just get rid of the movie? I have no issue getting rid of the movie.
Do you guys know how they trace DL's to people? Are they watching certain movies that are being DL'ed?

When you download you have to connect to peers so you can view their IPs and they can view your IPs. Some companies simply seed files and watch the IPs that leech off of them.

I am sure there are ways to do shit like that...but I am not enough for that. I use PG and that is about as far as I go to protect myself. I am sure you could use proxies and what not but I know nothing about it. Go to the technology forum and ask there.

did you actually download the movie?
there was some talk about the RIAA and company seeding fake torrents and trying to screw w/ people for that, but some folks claimed this wouldn't be infringment if you never got the work
anyways, don't worry, what you did isn't a crime, and I can't think of anything you need or should do in response
Deny it if you like
