I'VE BEEN USING FILE SHARING STUFF FOR YEARS NOW FROM NAPSTER, TO KAZAA, TO LIMEWIRE, BITTORRENT, ETC. AND I NEVER THOUGHT ANYTHING WOULD REALLY HAPPEN.

BUT YESTERDAY I GET A FUCKIN TEXT MESSAGE ON MY PHONE, IT WAS FROM AT&T AND THEY WERE SAYING THAT THEY WERE CONTACTED ABOUT MY ACCOUNT BEING USED FOR ILLEGAL DOWNLOADING, AND THEY SAID THE SPECIFIC FILE WAS A COPY OF FAST AND FURIOUS 5 THAT I HAD DOWNLOADED OFF OF A BITTORRENT SITE.

IT WAS UNIVERSAL PICTURES THAT CONTACTED MY INTERNET PROVIDER ABOUT IT AND AT&T BASICALLY THREATENED THAT IF I DONT ERASE THE FILE OFF MY COMPUTER THEN THEY WOULD TERMINATE MY ACCOUNT. SO I TOOK THAT SHIT OFF.

SO NOW I KNOW THEY'LL PROBABLY BE KEEPING TRACK OF MY SHIT MORE NOW. I KNEW THAT A COUPLE PEOPLE HAVE BEEN SUED FOR ILLEGAL DOWNLOADS BEFORE AND ALL THAT, BUT I NEVER REALLY THOUGHT ANYTHING OF IT OR REALLY GAVE A FUCK, BUT NOW IM BEIN ALOT MORE CAREFUL ABOUT WHAT I DO ON THE INTERNET. AND WATCH OUT CUZ THEY WATCHIN YALL

get peerblock for utorrent, stop seeding the file and if you are really paranoid delete it, to be extra safe just stop downloading torrents with huge seed and leech numbers those are the ones that get targeted.

They send these e-mails out to scare you they probably sent out 10,000 of these same exact ones off the same file, if you respond you are automatically at higher risk of them pursuing it. If for some reason they do pursue it then just tell them that someone must have hacked your wifi, if you don't have wifi tell them it must have been a friend at your house. IP addresses are not legally binded to a single person so there is no way to prove that it was actually you who downloaded the file.
