I knew the government has authorized companies to pursue copyright infringement, just didn't know it's that full on. I meant I downloaded plenty of stuff before this, never got caught. Did change to netcue as of this month. Could it be Netcube actively reporting users? Apparently this is just a warning, so guess I better be more careful in the future. Better VPN more then ;)
Has anyone else got it too recently? Do we get 3 strikes or something before court action or fine?
P/S THE MOVIE WAS NOT DALLAS BUYER CLUB (SHIT MOVIE ANYWAY)….AND I JUST DOWNLOADED IT 3 DAYS AGO..SHIT'S GETTING REAL GUYS!
You sure the email is real?
