Angry Our Privacy

Today I receive this email from my ISP

Dear Customer,

On Month Day we received a formal complaint of unauthorized distribution of
copyrighted materials originating from an IP address of **.***.**.***. Our
records show that this IP address belongs to your connection.

We are obligated to contact you and warn you that the type of alleged
activity is strictly against the terms of service that you agreed to when
signing up for service:


Under our Corporate Terms and Conditions of Use, Responsibility of Actions:
"Indirect or attempted violations of these policies by the Customer or the
Customer's User, or actual or attempted violations initiated or undertaken
by a third party on behalf of a customer or that
Customer's User, shall be treated by us as if they were
direct violations of this policy document undertaken by the Customer."

You have ten business days to respond to this warning. Should you fail to
respond, WE may Suspend or Terminate service.
The complaining party, Business Software Alliance, specifically requests
that you immediately cease and desist in the distribution of copyrighted
software. In addition, please inform the Abuse Department in writing, that the alleged activity has ceased.

Please respond to us verbatim with the following letter:

"I have removed the offending material. I would like to assure you that I am
aware that as a **** user I am fully accountable for my

originating from my machine. I am aware that as a **** user I am bound by the referenced AUP

Sample of the signal follows:

What can I do about this???? Has anybody else gotten this kind of letter??
It would be a good idea if limewire cuts out the ability to see what IP address your downloading from..

You can't do anything about it. Just stop sharing the offending files and continue as usual.
