Just stop uploading and you won't be flagged. Don't download an insane amount of things either. | ||

Please inform us whether you will remove or disable access to the Infringing Material as requested. MTS Allstream or the account holder may contact ESA at the above-listed contact details, with email preferred. Please include the above-noted Reference Number in the subject line of all email correspondence. Do not reply to them. Replying with 'I have stopped downloading' or anything would be an admission of guilt. They don't have hard evidence against you until you do that. Loads of worthless replies here, hope you see this in time. | ||

You must have been flagged for uploading too much information and then a manual check occurred to see what you were up to. Some employee somewhere gave the information they found to someone/something and it resulted in you getting warned. Just stop uploading and you won't be flagged. Don't download an insane amount of things either. I highly doubt that. The company that is tracking peers in the bittorrent swarm--in this case, ESA--traced his IP to his ISP and sent a notice of copyright infringement to them. The ISP is simply forwarding the message to him. | ||

Got it the first time. I did read the entire OP, it's something I do before replying. What's illegal and what's wrong aren't identical sets. | ||

More importantly, however, is that no major companies/organizations want to go to court with you. What most of them try to do is send you a "pre-settlement letter", in which they essentially threaten to take you to court unless you pay them the requested fee (yes, it does sound like blackmail). A decade ago, you probably would have been taken to court if you didn't respond. Nowadays it's too costly, so they're really just banking on you not wanting to go to court as well. Granted, this is all based off of the last few years of legal actions in the United States, where statutory damages will range from $750-$150,000 for a single infringement, so they can use massive numbers to threaten you. In Canada, the damages would be much lower...even with Bill C-61 supposedly passing soon, the cap would be $5000 for a single lawsuit against you...so realistically, a settlement would be a fraction of that. In addition to this, your ISP has absolutely no legal obligation to cut you off. They are not liable for your actions, or the actions of anyone else, and they also have no desire to play copyright cops for the rightholders. Even if the ESA is considering suing you (and that's a big "if"), you should have absolutely no fear of having your internet disconnected. Now, everything I'm saying here is obviously the trend of these things, not the definitive course of action, so do not push your luck. | ||
