Dear Sir or Madam,


We have received a complaint regarding an allegation of Copyright Infringement.

We were supplied an IP address of the system that was sharing the alleged copyrighted material, which we traced to your PIPEX ADSL account.

As I am sure you are aware, this breaches our Acceptable Use Policy, (http://www.pipex.net/legal/aup/ ) and many copyright laws, namely the Berne Convention.

Please reply to this email within 7 days stating that your PIPEX account will not be used for copyright infringement or any breaches of the law or the PIPEX Acceptable Use Policy.

Failure to respond or further infringements will cause your account to be temporarily suspended,and could also result in your account being terminated.

We have included the original complaint for you to view.

Much they can do over this?

If copyright infringement laws were actually fully enforced, would the internet cease to exist?

Just say yes, then carry on as before. You don't think they actually care do you?

Try using peerguardian.

Um, no, dont do that. Its worthless. Worse it makes folks feel safe and secure when they arent.

The real solution is even simpler: do not download "big" "new" movies from the popular public torrent sites. Problem solved.
