I think most points have been covered in the postings but wanted to add one more. Unfortunally, I received my second Email from attbi ( Comcast ) for uploading a movie. The first was 6 months ago. At that time the ticket number was ~ 75,000 and now it is ~175,000. That means they have sent 100,000 Emails in the last 6 months ! My question is why is so little being said about this ?

Obviously, I won't be uploading any movies. -_-

i can't see 175,000 ppl being prosicuted.. they just wanna scare u

I got the letter directly from washington 'cause I was downloading/uploading stuff at my dad's office...and sice he is a government emplyee, I was literally at the ISP

I use bt broadband an have received an e-mail from their acceptable use dept moaning about about me allowing uploads of copyrighted movies they had times ip addresses and file sizes including one file i'm pretty sure only i was sharing my guess is one of the scum buckets are were using kazaa just to trap people once connected they check your shares for anything they don't approved of and they report you to you isp .....tossers

.Needless to say install the privacy patch and don't be to quick to brand someone a leech just cos they don't seem to be sharing

I had taken it off, because there's no doubt that some people will cut you off just because they can't see into your shared folder (particularly if you have the 1000 rating).
