moogly Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 Legal owners (majors, studio etc) hire some companies to track their contents (video, music, games etc) shared through BT networks. These companies report your IP to your ISP and your 'cooperative' ISP sends a letter/email to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
labtec Posted October 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 can we loose our isp server over this. i mean i figured what you said was what was going on, but it does not hurt to gather other opinions. they knew everytime the files wereshared and all. my isp said the owners of the files did not complain about the downloading but about the sharing. thanks for the answer.
