I was recently sent such a "cease and desist" order from cox. However, their spam filters prevented that order from getting to my e-mail (and thus, I was cut off).
The other problem I found (once I was able to get hold of someone in authority at cox) was that teh IP noted in teh abuse complaint hasn't belonged to me in over 2 months!
It took my going over to the corporate offices in north phoenix arizona and camping in front of the door of the managing operations director before I was seen. 10 minutes at a computer terminale resulted in 3 things happeneing:
1. I showed that the IP address in question was still active (it was still live)
2. the cease and desist order was rescinded
3. my services were restored post haste.
it seems somone over at cox wasn't doing their job correctly as I have now joined the ranks of people being harrassed by their ISP's for activities I clearly did not do. I just can't await the day when I get a knock on my door, have to deal with a bunch of cops and a search warrant to sieze my computer equipment, just because the MPAA or RIAA decided I was sharing on a non-existant service. |
