Check out this email from my ISP - Anyone else got something like that? Should I worry?::
---------
Beware illegal file sharers.We would like to bring your attention to the following articles:
http://www.theregister.co.uk/200…
http://newswww.bbc.net.uk/1/hi/e…
We would like those of you that are file sharing illegally to be aware that should we be required by the authorities to provide the details of those customers whom are sharing files illegally we will, without hesitation, provide this information. We will also, if required, provide the authorities with a log of the activity from your ADSL connection.
We would advise our customers whom are sharing files illegally to put a stop to this activity. Not only is it illegal but it is also a breach of our terms and conditions. For those of you that use file sharing for legal purposes this does not affect you and you can disregard this email.
In the near future we will be carrying out spot checks on our network to ensure that users are not illegally sharing/downloading files, any users found to be sharing/downloading files illegally will have their E7even accounts terminated in accordance with clause 6.1 of our Terms and Conditions.
This does not affect the majority of our customers but there are some who do partake in this activity.
If you are unsure whether your activity on the Internet is legal or not please contact our customer services where one of our operatives will advise you.

It's illegal in the UK - but my company pay for this connection.
I'm just wondering what the chances are..

In my opinion they should fuck off, and if they want to make a difference make sure filesharing programs aren't to be found on the internet.
And from what I know the word sharing is not illegal.
Bitches.

The Internet "is" file sharing... that's the funny thing..
Asses.

Also, just like the internet had an obscure beginning it will have no end.
Fuck the bible, we are here to stay.

oh well when a company pays for something sometimes it means there spying on you. i dunno really what to tell you, is this in the office or home? why are they paying for your connection if its at home?

Thier own kids fucking use filesharing mouth to mouth communication. BOOM.
Another bomb?
The internet wouldn't even be as resourcefull if it wasn't for us outlaws, artists, gods.

Hate to tell you folks but people have already been busted over here, however they have only had a good ticking off which is usual for british police!
Think the story was somewhere in last weeks news...

Crap, maybe I should reduce my filesharing activity until they realise that P2P will never die!

Sounds like a letter sent out to every customer, and by that yet another worthless attempt to stop these activities.
They keep scaring people with these so-called "busts" and actions, but I seriously believe most, if not all, are made up by the two just so they can stage a bust and create panic among users of file share sites.
Not saying I think it's right to crack apps and download movies and whatnot.

Suuuuure, jox. ;)

*bump for Monday.
I've seen some US users have some funny disclaimers up when they share. Anygood?
I get the impression that it's not so much downloading stuff, but allowing others to download from you that upsets these guys.
Who knows. All I know is that it's not TOO difficult for an ISP to monitor the ports that SoulSeek, for example uses.
