Here's a tool to check if your IP address is on the list: http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/201...awsuit-checker Scroll down to ARE YOU A TARGET?
try this one: http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2011/05/bittorrent-lawsuit-checker I think when the "URL" tag shortens the URL, it screws it up.....also don't try copy and pasting, because the "..." isn't supposed to be "..." it's just what happens when the URL tag shortens the URL. Just click through. If you do want to copy and paste, try this instead http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2011/05/bittorrent-lawsuit-checker
How is it stealing when the the intention of a torrent file is to share it with other people??? I've been to many free movies on Tuesday at the Alamo and how come nobody is suing that?? People are going to go to the movies anyways, it's not like people would stay at home and watch a movie on the internet....
That IP checker is fool's gold, since most people have a dynamic IP that will change periodically. In other words- your IP may have been different when you downloaded that movie.
Agreed. For those of you rushing to check, keep this in mind. Be smart, don't use public trackers and if your that big of a thief, invest in a proper bodyguard (VPN, Seedbox, etc). The date ranges for this operation range between February 2011 - April 2011. If your afraid that you may have already been on the list, look into the EFF resources I posted earlier and sit tight and wait until the letter arrives in your mailbox. You can fight it, just be smart, do your homework.
If they get ISP's involved, they can check to see who that I.P was assigned to at the time of the download. That's if they really get serious.
This. Totally dumb to spend hours stealing a movie you could just rent for a buck, especially for a movie like this that no one is likely to ever watch more than once anyway. It just.. wasn't that great. And heck, I wish it was, I paid full price in the theater. Bleh.
ironically enough my roommates and I have recieved 2 of those. Both over ****ty movies too. won't mention them due to embarrasment of even bothering to dl them.
Yeah, Grande suddenly shut off my internet over a year ago, so I called to have it turned back on. The customer service lady was really warm and hospitable at first, "OK, let's see what the problem is" and then she tried to turn into cop/parent mode when explaining I had been flagged for stealing Four Christmases, of all things. It was an impotent intimidation. She wasn't cut out to be delivering any message other than "let me get my supervisor". She told me, in her disappointed teacher voice, that I would lose my internet permanently and get fined or arrested if I got caught again. I told her "Oh my word, I must have forgotten to secure my wireless!" I resumed torrenting everything I could get my hands on, and nothing ever happened.
i can pick it up for a $1 in 5 minutes. i never did this, but is the quality as good as a dvd/bluray? Do people watch these on the computer or on their TV? Watching a movie on a computer just isnt appealing if i'm at home or at someone's house.
So what if the person who downloaded the movie and like it and bought the bluray or dvd version and is on the list? I think the people should counter sue these ****ers for extortion for $2000 for this POS of a movie. People who downloaded the movie will usually won't be catching it in theatres so I don't see how they say they loses revenue from those people.
