Re: Ironic Twist said by sonicmerlin:On a side note, I torrented a movie over here in Japan and my ISP sent me a letter warning me that I illegally downloaded a movie. I was shocked...I had no idea they could just rustle through my downloads and determine what was or wasn't legal. When did the entertainment industry sink its claws into ISPs over here? They didn't rustle through your downloads. Someone was just monitoring that torrent for IP addresses of folks downloading or uploading. Yours showed up, so you got a letter.
You do realize that anytime you're downloading, and/or seeding, your IP is publicly available, right? BT was never designed to be a private, anonymous technology. |
