The ISP I use for my home DSL just called with an abuse warning from the MPAA citing a DMCA violation. The MPAA said I was sharing 12 Monkeys.
My ISP was nice enough to give only a warning and make sure I didn’t have anything like that running. But that’s the only warning I get.
So it seems it’s true, the MPAA is out there trolling the bittorent sites for people to frighten. I would guess they are doing some sort of random sample, but I’m not sure how pervasive this really is. Enough to hit me though.
I want a way to buy high quality movie downloads. I want them to be unencumbered with DRM. In the mean time, I’ve been given yet more reason to NOT give my money to any MPAA members. I’ve bought a LOT of DVDs, and a LOT of music online. If only I could buy movies online this would all go away.
Now I need to go give some more money to the EFF and look into installing Tor so I can worry a little less about someone watching me, regardless of what I may or may not be doing.
