I just received a letter from my internet provider claiming I have been caught downloading a movie that has a copyright from Paramount/Dreamworks. I thought bittirrents were not traceable.....what does this letter mean?

Anybody else ever receive a letter like this?

just ignore it im pretty sure people get these all the time and it is supposedly from a group of lawyers hired by the RIAA to scare people

nothing on the internet is untraceable... ever... regardless

email them back and say that you didnt do that... if you have wireless internet you can claim that someone breeched it

if they reply with any kind of threats or warnings about canceling service delete the movie and anything else that you downloaded through p2p and email them back stating that you have no such files on your computer and will fight this

download this http://www.download.com/Eraser/3000-2092_4-10231814.html

and erase it 30X with that tool it will be completely removed from your harddrive

but really i wouldnt worry too much

who is you ISp btw
