Also trackers can see what you download, so they can easily find out and try to scam you. Did you use the same email to sign up for anything that you downloaded? Even bittorrent?

I downloaded a movie via bit torrent. I never do and did it this past week because I was bored.



Now that's a Bad Luck Brian incident if I've ever heard one.


Downloads 1 Free Movie. Gets sued for Copyright infringement.

I used piratebay so no sign-up. I've downloaded TONS of music and never movies. Download a couple movies and this.

It is a scam. Especially since you downloaded a free porn video...those can be loaded with viruses.

I would call my ISP and talk with a human being before paying anything.


And why in the hell would you watch a Scooby Doo porn parody? Got a fetish for Daphne getting railed by a dog?

Here's the thing, the people who are claiming copyright infringement know someone from your public IP downloaded those pornos. That's it. They don't know if you did it, and they have no evidence to prove you did. They just want money to make the threat of a lawsuit to go away, they don't actually want to go to court.

Like I said before you'll probably be fine if you don't pay it and if you do pay the settlement then you know you'll be fine. This is all assuming that the email you got was legitimate and not a scam though.

He gets the email a day before April Fools. Seems WAY too fishy IMO

I'd call and say you didn't do it, someone must have used your Internet signal without your knowledge. Say you are concerned because of this email saying you owe 200 dollars. Ask your ISP what they think you should do and continue to deny it was you.

No one's going to try and get a settlement out of you for a stupid porn parody.

The first screen I went to had my personal info and it asked me to confirm it.

I had to google the scooby parody. I will admit, they did a hell of a job looking like the real characters.
