Yep it happened. But why now?
Ok so here is how it goes. I have been using azeures for a good 3-4 months now, and have been downloading *cough* *cough* some movies. So yeah. I know you guys do it also, whether its music, movies, games, or programs its all the same. We are stealing copyrighted material simple as that.
But Friday night my interent went down for no reason. At first i thought i needed to just reset the modem but after that didnt work i knew it was somehting else. Basketball practice was comming up so i didnt have enough time to really go into it. I also thiought that leaving the modem off for a while might do it some good. SO i come back from practice and guess what. It was still off. But considering that it was snowing for the whole day i figurered a cable was down or something lame like that.
So to keep it short, the internet was down for the whole weekend. Told my dad and he called up the cable company on monday morning. They then say we have been quarentied because we are a security risk. WTF? Security risk, could you be more vague? Then the little dick wouldnt say why and wouldnt tell us anyhting else. Damn idiot. I thought the governemtn flagged us as terorists and we were off to Gitmo Bay for some "questioning". I thought it was federal or somehting. He also said that they called 10 times to warn us. The thing is is that we have caller id and caller history. They ddint call a single time. Probably someone wanted to get off work early. Also i thought that one of our computer got spiked with a major worm or soemthing. But would/can they actually shut down your net access form that? I mean more than 90% of AOL users or zombie computers, does that mean we can shut down AOL!?
SO the next thing that happens is that they finally tell us what the hell it actually is. The guys exact words were, "You are downloading and uploading The Bourne Supremecy" and that "you must delete it from your computer". I was super happy because I was downloading a lot more than just one movie. Also i wasnt going to be tortured by the US. So what i want to know is:
-How did they catch me?
-Why just one movie? If they saw one wouldnt they have seen everything else?
-Is it legal what they did? Looking into what I download, and ordering me to delete something off my computer.
-How would they know that i actually deleted it?
-I thought with Bit torrent you cant get caught. Why now?
-What happens if i contineu to dl
-Can they do this?
-Why this movie?
-My ISP is Cox communications, are other ISPs doign the same?
-Im really pissed off what should i do?
-Could there have been some code imbedded into the file that used my computer as a host or the file uploaded itself?

You can spend the next month enjoying your movies elsewhere. We have no more tolerance for your piracy than your ISP.

BTW this is General Hardware, maybe you meant to post in Networking instead? But given the general piracy theme, I predict it'll be locked rather than moved.
