They claim the network was 'Morpheus', but you were running Shareaza -- which uses Gnutella 2 as well as Gnutella 1.

Should have used protowall or the built in sercurity of shareaza to block the ip address of p2p enimies...

Its another prank <_< . Or its not a joke...
Good luck :) .

Your ISP probably didn't send you that email, but if you call them up and say you got a possible prank email claiming the FBI is after you -- they may be able to tell you if it's legit or not. Of course if it is, you may not want to hear what ELSE they'll say. Just take their advice with a grain of salt and don't share as much/anything that might get you in trouble with the same organization that supposedly bothered you in the first place for a couple months.

Its a little strange, how the MPAA is an American organisation, and then they have no jurasdiction at all to British Telecom. Anyway, BT Openworld doesn't exist anymore, replaced by BT Yahoo.
