Oviedo, FL | The infringing URL actually said tracker.grems.org:[file info].
Demonoid has their own trackers, don't they? Or is grems under them?

| The RIAA is reportedly not using DMCA for issuing subpoenas, now:
»www.eff.org/IP/P2P/riaasubpoenas/
»www.eff.org/IP/P2P/?f=riaa-v-thepeople.html
This is probably just a complaint to Comcast abuse, similar to spam complaints.

said by NormanS  :The RIAA is reportedly not using DMCA for issuing subpoenas This is a result of the US Circuit Court December 2003 decision in RIAA v. Verizon, which ultimately led to the RIAA's current use of John Doe lawsuits to obtain information associating IP addresses with individuals.
As some what of a side note, while the MPAA makes common use of the notification provision of the DMCA (which I have previously referred to as a warning shot across the bow), there are few (if any) examples of such notifications by the RIAA (which tends to go directly after settlements). |

Should have been in the EFF links I posted; but, yes, that is the one.
Consequently, if the RIAA is really out to get you, there would be a postal delivery of a court-issued subpoena. That one should not be ignored.
A notice from Comcast should be taken as a TOS warning. The Comcast TOS does prohibit activity which violates copyright, and repeated complaints about the same IP address could result in a TOS action.
