first time ever. Happened after I forgot and left a seed on for days. I dont get the point though,
Ive bought every season of house md on dvd, retail, from best buy. Anyways, I usually just download
direct, no bittorrent, but this time i decided to go that way after seeing the seeds, never
again.
Quote: Dear removed:
We recently received the attached notice from NBC Universal claiming that your Internet account may
have been used for copyright infringement. Specifically, NBC Universal claims that your account was
used to reproduce and/or distribute copyrighted content without authorization to other users of an
Internet-based file-sharing network. We are forwarding this notice at the request of NBC Universal
-- please see the enclosed document.
Content providers such as NBC Universal routinely monitor file-sharing networks to determine if
their copyrighted movies and music are being distributed illegally over the Internet. NBC Universal
identified your AT&T account by its numeric IP address, a string of numbers identifiable by any
site from which you upload or download files. When an Internet user connects to file-sharing
networks, the IP address assigned to the computer connected to the Internet becomes publicly
available to other members of the network. Consistent with our Customer Privacy Policy, AT&T
has not released your name or any other personal information to NBC Universal, but is forwarding
this notice to you so that this issue may be resolved without any further action.
You should be aware that copyright infringement is a violation of U.S. law, and potentially
punishable by fines and other criminal penalties. It also is a violation of the AT&T Acceptable
Use Policy, which governs your use of AT&T Internet services. If infringing activity persists,
NBC Universal may choose to seek a court order requiring AT&T to provide it with your name and
address so it can pursue legal action against you.
By forwarding this complaint, AT&T is not making any accusation of wrongdoing. Rather, we are
bringing NBC Universal's notice to your attention so that you can take prompt and appropriate steps
to prevent any further activity of this nature from occurring over your Internet account. Steps you
may consider taking include:
1. Ceasing any sharing of copyrighted content that might be occurring via file sharing software,
services or networks;
2. Securing your home Wi-Fi network to ensure others are not accessing the Internet through your
connection to download or distribute illegal content;
3. Talking with family members or guests who may have used your Internet connection in ways you are
not aware of;
4. Using virus and spyware protection software to protect against security threats and ensure your
Internet connection is not being used in ways that you have not authorized;
5. Learning how federal copyright law applies to online activities by visiting the U.S. Copyright
Office's website at
http://www.copyright.gov/.
Violations of the Acceptable Use Policy can result in termination of your AT&T service. We
encourage you to review the AT&T Acceptable Use Policy online at
http://www.corp.att.com/aup/ and the AT&T
Customer Privacy Policy at
http://www.att.com/privacy.
AT&T is committed to protecting your personal information and ensuring the best possible online
experience for all customers. Please review the attached letter for information regarding the
alleged copyright infringement. If you have any questions regarding your AT&T Internet account
or AT&T policies, please call us at 1-866-618-7991

Re: Infringement of NBC Universal Properties
Notice ID: removed

Dear Sir/Madam:
I am contacting you on behalf of NBC Universal, Inc. and its affiliated companies ("NBC Universal")
regarding certain activity on your Internet account. NBC Universal owns intellectual property
rights, including exclusive rights protected under copyright law, in many motion pictures,
television programs and other audiovisual works ("NBC Universal Properties"). Based on our data, we
believe that your Internet account was recently used to reproduce and/or distribute unauthorized
copies of one or more NBC Universal Properties in violation of NBC Universal's rights. We have set
forth below the details concerning this infringement, including the title(s) in question, the IP
address of the account at the time of the infringement, and the date and time of the
infringement.
Your Internet service provider (ISP) has agreed to forward this notice to you in order to provide
you an opportunity to remedy this situation. Your ISP has not provided your personal information to
us, but NBC Universal reserves the right to obtain that information through legal process in
appropriate circumstances.
Unauthorized copying or distribution of copyrighted works may give rise to significant liability
for copyright infringement, including statutory damages of up to $150,000 per infringed work for
willful infringement. Such action may also constitute a violation of your Internet provider's Terms
of Use and may result in suspension or termination of your Internet service account. Accordingly,
we request that you immediately: (1) cease from any further unlawful copying or distribution of NBC
Universal Properties; and (2) delete any unauthorized copies of NBC Universal from your
computer.
We encourage you to learn the facts about Internet piracy, including the economic harm that piracy
causes to creative industries in the United States and the danger of exposure to viruses, worms,
hacking and identity theft as a result of using peer-to-peer file sharing networks. Information
regarding Internet piracy may be found on the web site
http://www.mpaa.org/piracy.asp, which is maintained by the Motion Picture
Association of America for the purpose of educating consumers.
A true and correct list of the titles of the NBC Universal Properties which NBC Universal believes
in good faith have been illegally offered for downloading using your Internet account is noted
below.
We would be pleased to respond to any questions or concerns you may have concerning this notice.
You may direct any such questions or concerns to us through the following Internet site:
http://webreply.baytsp.com/webreply/...0dcb845e6bf764. Please include the

The undersigned has a good faith belief that use of the NBC Universal Property or Properties in the

information contained in this notification is accurate. Under penalty of perjury, the undersigned
is authorized to act on behalf of NBC Universal with respect to this matter.

are specifically reserved.
