| Maybe. You got caught using P2P to download a movie, but using bittorent it also made it available for upload. They can sue. Will they? Who knows. Do much of this?

Generally, no. That's just another DMCA notification letter.
Keep a copy, yes, but don't reply. A reply is generally taken as some sort of admission/flag that you actually did it. It's more of a slap-on-the-wrist than anything. You probably should delete the file, just to be in the open about everything.

| said by spike010101  :So in other words, don't worry about it? Well, I wouldn't suggest continuing to make copyrighted files available for upload, but I think your in the clear for this incident. If you are caught again though, probably will be more then a warning.

| ha, my friend got his internet shut off in the dorms down here at u of illinois for uploading spiderman 2 on the network all night... needless to say with a t3 and no bandwidth cap he was able to upload the movie to about 50 people overnight. at least one of those people he sent it to was columbia pictures because that's who contacted our dorm network guru. luckily, all he had to do was tell this guy he was sorry and that he wouldnt do it again. |

I (as of yet) haven't heard of anybody seeing imminent legal action as a result of one, or multiple letters. It's ironic, you're probably more likely to see real action from consuming the bandwidth itself than as a consequence of it being copyrighted material!

Wow, they are speeding their claims up. That was on the 7th and its only the 10th.
Glad to see you are only downloading high quality DVDrips with AC3 audio. aXXo is a great release group
Anyways...what proof does anyone have that the person in context actually is downloading copyrighted material? I mean, its a file, John Tucker Must Die (was it any good?), but thats it. Isnt it sort of like busting someone who has a box labled "THIS BOX CONTAINS POT" but really has nothing inside? I am by no means a legal person but to me thats what it sounds like.
The only way they can know if there is illegalness going on is to download the file FROM the person, make sure it is copyrighted work, then they can be sued.
Does that make sense?

Doing the latter is also a violation of the Comcast TOS for residential customers regardless of the file's intellectual property status.

1 edit | First of all it would be incredibly unwise of you to make any further statements like this in the forum, or anywhere else. You have just publicly admitted guilt to copyright infringement. The RIAA/MPAA trolls are capable of monitoring a forum like this. Especially if you would end up on the stand (it's a civil lawsuit, so you have no choice but to testify) and you're asked if you've talked to anyone about the infringement and what you said.
Second, that being said, I wouldn't lose too much sleep over that letter. It's a lot less likely you'll be sued over a single case of infringement. However, you might browse through the yellow pages and find an attorney or two in your area who know about copyright infringements, just in case you are sued. That way, you are prepared. Don't bother contacting any of them unless you are actually sued (you'll know if you are b/c you'll either have a process server show up on your doorstep or a registered letter come in the mail). |

I work for comcast, and from my understanding, (what we've been told),is that this is your one any only warning, the next time your caught, then they will turn your info over to the **aa, 99.9% it takes the 2cd notice for them to turn your info over..Good Luck |

I still don't understand why you would take the chance messing with copyright material over the internet. If you want to avoid this type of danger just rent the movie and rip it yourself for your own use, why mess with sharing and downloading copyright materials over P2P or Bit Torrent. |

Doing the latter is also a violation of the Comcast TOS for residential customers regardless of the file's intellectual property status. I have not read the TOS, but if thats the case, then simply making a website is a violation of the TOS.
Lets say, I upload family pics to a server, say, angelfire, and others access it. Based on your post, that is a violation of TOS.
Sending an email, uploads a file to a server and is then accessed by the end client.
Heck... your posting here is a file made viewable to anyone.

encryption has nothing to do with it. Anyone can query a tracker and find out who is downloading what file. |
