I just got a warning about downloading movies!!!!!!

[cwsiggy]

Holy sh$%^$t, I called my cable company to find out why my internet wasn't working. I thought it was a late bill perhaps. The lady says it's because of abuse and transfers me to tech sevice. I'm thinking, Oh boy, here we go!!!! So the tech lady says "Did you download the movie "The Italian Job" because we got a report from the MPAA that someone at that account downloaded copyrighted material. I'm thinking, that's it! I'm toast. But she basically said that as long as the movie is removed from the computer and I am aware that the cable modem account could be terminated if done again, then they will reconnect.

whew!!!!

wow - was this a torrent put out there by the industry to catch and warn people??? Has anyone ever had this happen to them?? Just so you know , I got it from Demenoid.com.

scary

dude that sucks. there are all ready eyes on you, so just becareful. The best thing not to get caught is to use a wireless connection at a pub or cafe. Get what you need and bail.

holly shit, the cable companie can do that?.....i mean know what are you downloading?..........or depends on wich isp is?

Re: I just got a warning about downloading movies!!!!!!

Of course they can! I bet some bored techhies at cable internet companies sit around and check out what "naughty" sites people are surfing or what google searches they are inputing.

Re: I just got a warning about downloading movies!!!!!!

but you said that the mpaa alerted them right? presumably they track certain sites (e.g. suprnova) or even file-sharing programs which must record ips when you pull from that site
