Anyone else in the uk work about getting letters about file

Hi,
Saw this in the newspaper today-

i've downloaded alot of porn from this site, now I'm worried I'm going to get a letter.

Did they sent you the letter?

"'As a result of this incident the BT subsidiary Plusnet will be providing its 316 affected customers with an identity protection service including internet security software free of charge for the next 12 months."

So it was just to scare you?

Good for you.


Btw: never listen to fear, don't let them E-V-E-R terrorise you away from porn!

If you receive a letter, visit "Being Threatened?" website.

As I understand it, they are able to monitor peer2peer networks and identify: IP address, ISP, file names. They then demand the ISP identifies the owner of the connection.

So it sounds like the scam is limited to P2P file sharing.

I'd be interested to hear someone explain the relative security of the File Hosts used here?

Mods list "safety and security" as reasons for limiting hosts to Oron, Megaupload and Rapidshare. Is this security as in virus threats or reduced risk of identifying users??

I did read that two ISPs "Virgin Media and TalkTalk" refused to hand over the data of their customers to the law firm involved.
