Crap!

Post by N3ur0n0saurusl2exs0r!!! »

I got a "Notice of Action under the Digital Millenium Copyright Act" from Comcast.

It was just for one stupid file too under Bittorent that was one of those stupid camera videos...Must have been someone pirating my WiFi signal! :D

It says that Comcast will terminate my service but what I am wondering about is how they found out my information because it wasn't Comcast that found out what my neighbors were using my internet connection to download it was the "copyright owner" that submitted the "alleged" infringement.

What is the dilly-yo with this? How are they able to find out my IP etc? I will tighten up my WiFi security but just in case they are able to bypass my security measures could I protect myself further using PeerGuardian?

Not 100% safe, but absolutely better than nothing:

Ah...I've been using the really old version of Bitlord forever...

I installed PeerBlock (www.peerblock.com) heard anything about that?

PeerBlock is pretty cool. I didn't know there were so many requests coming in.

S.V.R. Consulting LTD. is something to be avoided...they are tracking bittorrent connections to spam...possibly with smut as I got some smutty spamminess in my comcast account just recently...Really wish I would have been using this stuff ealier...

Rocking some residual Amazon EC2 cloud AP2P for some reason...what manner of bizarreness is that?

I don't really do much of the ol Torrenting (although I did just grab some WADs to try out this Doomsday Engine thingy. That being said I still run Peerblock just for the hellovit.
