Re: DMCA Violation
said by knightry  :The primary e-mail on our Comcast account got this e-mail this morning, and I was wondering if anyone else has ever gotten anything similar, and whether or not I should be worried... There have been many instances of people here at BBR saying they received this type of warning.
And, judging by news reports, some of these cases have been pursued by the RIAA and others.
I don't think that should equate though to you being worried about it. Concerned, yes, enough to delete the offending material assuming in fact you or someone with access to your account did Download it.
And concerned enough to be careful to not do it again, or at the very least, risk getting caught.
Obviously a lot of these warnings go out on a daily basis and there's no way the industry will ever prosecute them all, or even a needle in a haystacks worth compared to the file sharing going on out there. They'd need a legal team the size of the population of California to do that.
And so, these warnings are most likely intended to scare people into ceasing this kind of activity. What they probably do though is to first select from repeat offenders to go after, and use them as the example. And so, that's why you should take care in not doing that.
Personally, I wouldn't respond to anyone about anything at this point. An email from Comcast is hardly any kind of official notice of any further action being planned and until that day ever came, which I think is highly unlikely, then just let it blow over.
I would certainly delete the file though.
