Well dude thats the thing, im worried about over the next 12 months receiving more and more! Ive spoken to my solicitor and im goina to go with the excuse that i didnt download anything, never even heard of the software in question and i only use computers for word processing and social networking. Also adding my wireless network is unsecure so anyone could be using my internet.

(keep in mind this is all a lie, im not silly enough to leave my network unsecure lol)

A Couple Of Years Ago, I Got The Same Thing, For "Norton's Internet Security"... I Was Trying To Download The Next Years Version Early, And I Got Busted... They Sent A Letter, And I Used That Excuse... They Couldn't Prove Anything And Nothing Happened To Me...

This has been hapening for years.. lol.. you need to block certain ranges when using shittier torrent programs.. such as utorrent.. as the majority of the other torrent apps already have certain ranges blocked/have a setting to do so or people have a file you could obtain with certain ranges to block from certain companys so that you cant receive from them.. or send to them.. which means they cant retrieve your ip :D but as you've already stated you can quite easily say you compter must have been hacked.. or your connection wasnt secure obviously make sure stuff you download is on a easily hidden portable drive.. so if it ever came to worse case senario.. you computer is clean :D

When It Comes To Torrents, I'm A Leecher... I Delete It As Soon As I'm Done With The App, Movie, Etc... That Way My Comp Is Clear Of Anything... LoL...

So what happend in the end? Have you left Sky or stayed with them ?

[Thr33]

I have stayed with Sky and sent a letter to the solicitors. I havnt heard anything back from them so i assume (for now) its been dismissed.

Im afraid you'ld still have traces of the file unless you done a hard format of your drive each time and reinstalled winblows etc.. hense why there is such things as file restoring apps :D

[joepod]

this happened to me...i downloaded a season of entourage and was sued by HBO for copyright infringement, just when you think you get away with something theyre always watching

[Rich]

Dunno joepod they may have just sued you because you are actually watching that dribble :D just joking, its an ok tv show. My bro's mate is with sky and he got fined for downloading a song just like you TFD, he had to flee the country and go under a new name cause the fed's were after him for downloading boobies boobies boobies 2, just joking i am not actually sure what happned to him don't think he had to pay it though :)
