Everyone I know who got legitmately caught for piracy were contacted via their ISP. Not some third party agency, which sounds really fishy to me. If all they have is your IP, filename, and date of download, then all that means is that they were also seeding/leaching the same torrent as you. Anyone that torrents can get that information easily. Unless they have your social security number (or whatever equivilent from your nation of origin), I would ignore it. The fact that you are 17 and study abroad actually protects you, because you're considered both a minor and are protected by international law. So even if for some bizzare reason legal action would be taken, it would be against your home mom and not you. But I seriously doubt anything would happen. Your host mom doesn't need to worry about her "reputation being ruined". Even if there was prosecution, as long as guilt was admitted, the records would be sealed from the public. | ||

Actually when it comes to porn I dont use torrents. I use video leeching software. I also get movies that way too. Play them online and leech. | ||

I have no idea how the American legal system works but there must be some way to chase the information they have sent to you. Is there a case number or something like that take it up with proper authorities and check it’s real. It may suck or be embarrassing to talk to people about it. But if it is a scam that’s what their hoping will happen, people just pay because they are too embarrassed. | ||

Still, all the replies keep my blog on the front, so a kind knowledgeable individual might see it. I take no offense, go crazy. These aren't just good porn sites. They are massive, safe, litigation-free repositories of porn. But really, if you stuck to porn sites, you wouldn't be threatened with such a frivolous lawsuit. Anyways, don't pay their settlement, they have no other evidence other than your IP address. | ||

I am just speculating here however so you should get some legal advice, don't admit anything to them either however; makes it easier for them. | ||
