Ever gotten a warning from your ISP about piracy?

>>83007868
No because I'm not an Americuck and we actually have freedom in my country.

I got one for the Conan remake.

Didn't even make it half an hour into that shitty movie. They should be glad I was going to give it a go.

Once, when I forgot to close out of bittorrent on my laptop before going to class and getting on the campus wireless.

>>83007868
Nope because I don't torrent in the first place.

>>83007868
Ad popped up on my computer from comcast about it for the first warning about two years ago, got a cheap VPN on sale and still seed and haven't since. Got it on a new years sale

>>83007868
No, my ISP is pretty small and only operates in rural areas so they don't give a fuck.

My parents got an email from our isp saying someone had illegally downloaded that Star Wars porn parody with the red twilek girl. You know the one.

They never asked, but they know who did it, they know...

I got a warning from my ISP because someone was uploading episodes of Brooklyn nine nine or however it's called, using my connection. I've never even seen the show and our Wi-Fi is too shitty to upload anything that big anyway so I don't know where they got their info from.

>>83007868
Nope, and if I ever got one I would switch immediately.

Got an email from comcast warning they would throttle my connection if i pirated again.

It was the imitation game

>>83008893
That's what you think....

>>83007868
Mostly for torrenting porn

>>83009251
Why would you do this with sites like spankbang available?

>>83007868
Nope.

no but the tv license cunts have bothered me multiple times

>>83009349
Don't you mean they bothered your mummy?

>>83009251
Which porn company sent the most

>>83007868
yeah when game of thrones leaked i goofed and left one seeding. got an email and ignored it nothing ever happened.

are you allowed to torrent movies you own? im fairly sure thats the case with vidya game roms.

>>83009546
that's why i never seed my torrents

>>83007868
Britfag here,only time ive recieved one was from clicking a link on here to green room, no fucks were given however

>>83007868
I got asked to pay 500$ for downloading Hateful Eight, managed to wriggle out of it but now stream recent movie releases.

In 2007 I got a cease and desist letter for seeding a copy of starcraft

I think for Game of Thrones, there might have been others, I can't remember but never got a fine.

I know of a guy who got fined for Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs though.

I almost got kicked out of college for torrenting The Office. NBC Universal sent my school the piracy warning and I was banned from the school internet (except my uni email) until I went to the dean's office to get reprimanded and sign a letter acknowledging what I did was wrong and that I would never do it again.

I ended up switching to private torrent sites and interned at NBC Universal 2 years later, so it all worked out.

>>83010416
5 years ago at Drexel University I used to torrent all the fucking time thinking I was actually safer on my uni internet than normal like a complete dumbass. Movies, shows, games, everything.

Never got in trouble somehow. Lucked out I guess.

>live in Czechia
>targeted ads from companies selling PC hardware actually subtly encourage you to download more stuff
feels good

>pirating or torrenting at all

>dad slams open my door
>SON, YA WANNA TELL ME WHAT THE FUCK REAL GIRL ORGASMS 7 IS!?
>n-no dad it waa the neighbors stealing our Internet I s-swear
Thank god I learned about vpns and moved out, the shit I download now has far worse titles

>>83009035
How'd you know that I'd know the one? I prefer the one that has leia blowing darth Vader though

>>83007868
Yeah, downloaded some French and tranny porn and got a letter from my isp saying theyre forced to forward this email but to completely ignore it because they can't do shit

Iditos.

No, I don't live in a shithole.

Nigga you can see fucking cops buying pirated movies on the street in my country.
ISP notes are first world problems

>doesn't seed
MODS

>>83011214

Because you normally supply an email when you sign up with an ISP.....are you dense?

Half the US population pirates media. Even if they wanted to put pirates in prison there isn't enough prisons on the planet.

all the time. they don't actually do anything about it

>>83011333
>Because you normally supply an email when you sign up with an ISP

I didn't

Guess America isn't so free after all

>>83011304
If you have gigabit you'll seed about 1.5 ratio by the time you're done downloading

>>83010416
Same. I couldn't use my school's WiFi for my last two years at university. The only way they would "allow" me to get my internet privilege back was if they wiped my computer. I said fuck that and did all of my schoolwork at home. If I needed to use internet on campus, I used the campus computer labs.

>>83011485
Most of that is just handshaking with peers and upping the availability of the trackers by file comparisons with people that already have it.

do people actually phish with these?

people have actually gotten warnings for torrenting porn? i thought they either didn't have the resources or never cared enough

Yeah, I always got warnings from Comcast when I lived with my parents whenever I downloaded an HBO show.

My parents didn't care because they knew comcast wouldn't do shit and charge too much anyway for their services.

>>83011955
Fuck no. That's sexual harassment. They are pretty much implying that you are doing something of a sexual nature.

yeah, for Sopranos as opposed to all the modern series I'd been pirating in the weeks before.

>tfw too unintelligent for a VPN

Why the fuck do yall actually pay for VPN's lmao.

Just ignore any emails you get about it, if they try to do anything then call them up and raise a huge fuss and threaten to cancel your service and talk to their supervisor.

I've never even had to do anything beyond just ignoring the warnings.

>>83012353
How do you raise a fuss about that? What do you say, "this is illegal and it shouldn't be, muh gibs"

>>83012353
The FBI isn't going to EMAIL you about it. It's SPAM.

>>83012353
So they lose an extra $1200 a year and prosecute. All torrenting goes down in your area for 6 months.

>>83012424
You don't have to explain shit, you're the customer.

I'd probably say I don't know what they're talking about and that I don't even know what torrents are and that it was probably my neigbor hacking ny netwroor my visiting nephew.

Your company doesn't care it's illegal, they care much more about having you as a customer and not making you angry and threatening to cancel your service.

>>83007868
A few times; for HBO shows and pron.

For downloading BvS lmao

>>83012457
>>83012587
Are you yuros or scared 15 year olds?

The FBI isn't going after anyone for torrenting, it's made up bullshit made to scare gullible idiots like you. I know so many people who've been torrenting for years with absolutely zero consequences.

>>83012716
I meant if you call them back with a fucking attitude, I hope they bust you. You are renting their bandwidth and infrastructure. If you rented a car you wouldn't bitch the company out if you got a ticket or a DUI.

>>83009690
Send them a picture of a mutilated penis next time you do that. Legally, they can't do shit to you.

>>83012828
Who put the stick up your ass, you sound like you think torrenting is wrong or something

And like I said, I torrent everything and have been doing so for years without anything happening besides an email once every few years that I ignore.

>>83013072
Torrent some balls next time boy. This is the only post I read in years on the internet, where it sounded like they were going to cry. Lol.

feels good being yuropean

>>83013342
It must be comfy, with those praying rugs literally everywhere.

reminder the lettering only started in hopes of proving ISPs were complicit in piracy in order to make them easier to acquire. Now all ISPs are either owned by or own media outlets, the only exceptions being disney and verizon.

If you got a letter, no one other than your ISP ever had your information and your ISP doesn't give a fuck what you use their service for.

If you're paying for a VPN you're just a fucking moron.

ive been torrenting shit for 10 years and have never gotten a single letter

>>83013502
That's only because nobody likes you.

delet

Old guy here.

I've been pirating since 2002, back in the KaZaZ/Limewire days.

>thousands of movies/tv shows (first movie - Fellowship of the Ring)
>hundreds of video games (first game - Jedi Knight 2: Jedi Outcast)
>thousands of albums/music rips (first album - Third Eye Blind)
>hundred of e-books/audiobooks (first e-book - I think it was A Brief History of Time)
>a few hundred pieces of software (first illegal software download - Photoshop)

I've never had a single notice from an ISP.

I've had multiple ISP's and I move cities quite a bit, so maybe that helps, I dunno.

>>83010721
>Parents shocked their son is watching porn

Must suck to be an American

>>83013875

>KaZaA/Limewire
>all those .txt file that said "If you like this game/movie/software, please purchase a copy to support the developers!"

lol, did anyone ever actually do this?

>>83014223

I used to buy music CDs to support but i stopped in the streaming era

The degenerate government in my country just blocked wikipedia without even giving a public reason

I'd rather be an american and having to deal with this sort of shit instead

>>83014907
You in Turkey or Syria?

>>83013875
Charlie?

ive only ever had a letter about how much i was torrenting, saying i needed to calm down

how do you know how much is too much?

>>83007868
I live in Serbia, so who gives a shit?

>torrent 320x240p Batman
>grandma gets letter
>unplugs my 30' phone cord running from 56gay to upstairs jack
>200mb download never caches
>wish her dead all month
>pray she makes it to next SSI to pay internet bill

>>83007868

I live in Canada, so no. Never.

>>83016380
That's cause nobody likes Canada

Didn't Trump stop these in order to piss off the Hollywood propaganda machine?

>>83016380
it happens

I've only ever gotten warnings from Comcast for downloading The Life of Pablo, I think I got four or five.

>>83009614
That's just a cop-out excuse they used to use back in the day. I don't even know the last time I saw a ROM site say "only download these if you own the actual games."
It's irrelevant anyway. When you torrent, you are sharing the download with other people. This is what gets you in trouble, not so much the downloading itself but the uploading.

>>83016446
Run back what you just said IQ-let. Presidents can't do that.

>>83007868
yes, once for downloading Kick-Ass 2 a long time ago.
I stopped for a while. Then I started again and didn't get another.

>>83017838
Yeah he can just sign an executive order actually

Not once.

>>83016837
Kek

I got my first and only warning for downloading MBDTF

Once for torrenting a porn vid. Found out my ISP has a three strike rule and it was my first. At three strikes, they terminate your service contract, blacklist you and never give you service again.

>got warnings from comcast for downloading porn

>they go to my parents email
>my parents know what kind of porn I watch

I got my first one when I was like 14 years old. Took a break from pirating for a while and stopped being so dumb about it. Instated a set of rules so I wouldn't get caught again.

Then my freshmen year of uni I got caught again and they suspended internet access from my dorm. Had to write and apology to my uni and promise I wouldn't do it again. What irks me is that the movie that got me caught was absolute shit. I wouldn't have minded if it was a kino-tier film I got caught with, but noooo I had to get caught with the shittiest film ever. What a crock of shit.

>>83007868
Not once.

Comcast ain't getting my shekels.

>>83007868
No, and if you ever do say your network was not private at the time.
