| [NEWS] BitTorrent Isn't safe as it seems
I gotten an e-mail from Cox.net warning me about a file that i have downloaded and to removed the file. I downloaded Agent Cody Banks 2: Destination London off of suprnova so watch out they say that they might disconnect my service in 24 hours. I guess you may say "The Big Brother is watching" -- Ryo Studios Inc. |

| reply to ryo504 This is the frist part of the letter
Dear Customer,
We are writing on behalf of Cox Communications to advise you that we have received a notification that you are using your Cox High Speed Internet service to post or transmit material that infringes the copyrights of a complainant's members. We have included a copy of the complaint letter. Pursuant to the provisions of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA"), which is codified at 17 U.S.C. § 512, upon receiving such notification, Cox is required to "act expeditiously to remove, or disable access to" the infringing material in order to avoid liability for any alleged copyright infringement. Accordingly, Cox will suspend your account and disable your connection to the Internet within 24 hours of your receipt of this email if the offending material is not removed.
Please be aware that the DMCA also provides procedures by which a subscriber accused of copyright violation can respond to the allegations of infringement and, under certain circumstances, cause his or her account to be reinstated. To do so, however, the response must meet certain criteria. Pursuant to section (g) of the DMCA (17 U.S.C. § 512(g)), you have the right to submit to Cox a counter-notification which, to be effective, must include the following elements:
(a) a physical or electronic signature of the subscriber; (b) identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or disabled; (c) a statement under penalty of perjury that the subscriber has a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled; (d) the subscriberÂs name, address, and telephone number and a statement that the subscriber consents to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which the address is located.
In the event that you submit to Cox a counter-notification that includes these elements, Cox will forward your counter notification to the complainant and advise them that Cox will cease disabling access to the allegedly infringing material in ten (10) business days. Unless the complainant notifies us that it has filed an action seeking a court order to restrain you from engaging in the allegedly infringing activity prior to the expiration of those ten (10) business days, Cox will reactivate your account.
Sincerely,
The Cox Abuse Team -- Ryo Studios Inc. |

| reply to ryo504 Shanto20 is right.
Your getting caught for uploading! Doesn't matter if your uploading slow, all or part. Your getting caught because of uploading.
People really need to wise up to this,
Quoting I get insane speeds from Bit torrent - But they seem to discard the fact there uploading/sharing at the same time. So as long as you don't do it again you will be fine. Take this as a warning my friend. |

Peerguardian is trash. Learn how to IRC, fast speeds and you will never have to share anything. |

Explain this concept, a file sharing community where no one has to share anything? And fast speeds too! Woot! |
