If you own a real copy of the movie then there is nothing they can do.You just say you downloaded it for a backup.

damnit, I wish filesharing was safe

I shared it because bittorrent makes you share

.......so there are two letters? Damn

BTW, I don't check my email that often and I received this 2 weeks ago, and I was downloading after they sent me that until I found out I got it. It was a bad copy of the movie too.

How did that guy receive 3 of them, if the second means that you're getting sued.


And, how much will I have to pay if I get sued for one bad copy of a movie?

I read an article about these DMCA letters and it says that I was cought by a robot, and using that COX will never give out my information, so I guess I'm safe.......but I bet they will be watching me now.

It's quite possible...if not probable. I wouldn't lose any sleep over it.
You have been given sound advice by Peerzy,Realitiy and others listen to it.

Stiff upper lip! :01:

Peace bd

Does that mean you get these letters if you share through bittorrent or kazza. Wot if you just download rarely like once or twice a week and they are old files like old songs and movies old ones. Does this apply. Also will it apply if you download tv programs that haven't aired in a particular country but dont share it.

It doesn't matter, if you share you get caught, thats it. Old files too.

Why are you sharing a bad copy of the movie?

Hmmm, I had no idea that it was bad....and Bittorrent forces you to share.

if you mean you were sharing while you downloaded yes. but once its done you can stop & remove the torrent. if you found it was bad once you finished, you should have stopped & deleted it.

I wasn't there. BTW, I heard somewhere that you need to share as much as you downloaded or bittorrent will go slow for you.
