Hey guys, i received a letter this morning from The High Court of Justice, Chancery Division summoning me to court or pay a £300 fine under charges of copyright infringement. Fuck me not, this is not a windup! Stamped officially from the Chancery Chambers. This charge relates to a file downloaded through uTorrent, September 2009, "Evacuate The Dancefloor" from "Top40 UK Singles".

It was noted that the client had requested my IP from Sky and of course it came back to my address. Unless you have a very effective proxy hider then i suggest taking extra caution when downloading music from uTorrent. I strongly recommend using public file hosts like Mediafire, Zippyshare etc. DO NOT rely on Rapidshare as they are also scanning files for copyright also.

I have to pay this fine or go to court, dont make the silly mistake i did! Aspecially when im saving you from a £300 fine you could just donate some pennies to Lazy Records haha!

£300 for ONE song?

Fuck that. I am angry on your behalf. What's the worst that can happen in court?

[DJSmurf2010]

Probably a bigger fine and a jail sentance... more than likely a suspended one....

Or community service.......

[DJ VibeOne]

A jail sentence for downloading Cascada?

If that is in any way possible then I want to move on to my own island and create a beautiful utopia free from oppresive laws. I'd be going postal on they azz.

unlucky that dude, im always careful about stuff like that these days. Id say that i buy almost all of my music now.

[DJSmurf2010]

I wouldnt mind but ive downloaded 42 films in the past month or so hahahahaha no more for me for now i think till it all blows over a bit

[Bong]

its mostly chart music and films that get targeted

[edub]

I would just stay away from torrents period now days. Blogspots with zippyshare/mediafire links are the way to go...

I Literally Downloaded About 300+ Movies From UTorrent, And Burnt Them To DVD's... I Think If I Get A Letter It's Gonna Be For A Fine Way Bigger Than That!!! LMAO!!!
