I got a letter in the mail a week ago from the university notifying me that I was violating their terms of service and would be kicked off the network for sharing MP3's, divx movies and old TV episodes within the local network.
The MPAA caught wind of this, and threatened to sue the university and individuals if these actions were not stopped.
End result: I was given five days to stop sharing movies, or the university would disable my account, begin disciplinary proceedings and that i may face significant legal problems.
this is not a repost of the FBI crackdown threads, another notification that the olden days of file sharing are limited and a warning to university students and others that the MPAA, in addition to the record labels are beginning to crack down.
i dont have a personal webpage but if anyone would like i can send you a .jpg of this letter and you can post it for all to see.
