just tell them you are doing a research on p2p filesharing and if the have problem with that they can contact your lawyer!
in short let them just go to hell..!
The broadband ISP will never shut down p2p... cause if they do the users will stop using broadband from them! It's like selling a ferrari and telling the guy you sell it to he isn't allowed to drive faster as 100km a hour. A lot of these calls are not from your isp but from some pranksters pulling a joke on you....
wel my 2cts..
They must be pranksters I agree, I don't think it is legal for an ISP to spy on what there users have on there hard drive. It's called privacy. But who knows.. My ISP has yet to say anything to me about me sharing copyrighted files - might be just because they don't care.
The ISPs dont spy on your HD. They get a letter from The RIAA or the like, that a file was shared with this IP. Then they forward it to the user.Originally posted by Natsume Atsuko@28 May 2003 - 09:34

You Better Keep In Mind That I Can Read Between The Lines
Never argue with an idiot, they drag you down to there level and beat you with experience!!
Well, all i'd do is tell them i'm disconnecting from the ISP NOW!!! And they'd shut up. When they realize that you're serious about disconnecting, they don't bother you. Also, it's a good way to get a better connection. Once a friend of mine had probs with his connection so he called up the ISP and said he was disconnecting - they offerred him a 2 mbps connection (instead of 512k) for the same price if he'd stay.
Also, how can you not have any other options ? Where do you live ? I mean, i thought Israel was considered only a somewhat civilized country but there are at least 50 ISPs you could sign up with for broadband in any part of Israel, so, basically, your choices are unlimited. How can it be worse in a country that's considered more civilized (like the US/UK)??? And how come some of you say it's a hassle to switch ? You just call an ISP, tell them you wanna sign up, they get your phone # and credit card number, and in 20 minutes you can already use the internet... assuming you still have the modem from the last time you used broadband. It couldn't possibly be easier...
