what is the limit to recieving comcast copyright infringement warnings?

Question

i received a total of at least 15 warnings from comcast about downloading *cough* il *cough* legal movies. does anyone know the max you can receive before legal troubles or fines/termination gets involved?

Answer 1

Well, since they are telling you that you are in Violation of the user agreement. They really can terminate you at any time.

If you really are violating copyrights then you may have a larger issue. I know the FBI has been cracking down and have required ISP's to turn over records and logs which can get you jail time.

Just stop.

Answer 2

Hmm, thats a new one!

Are you sure they monitoring what your downloading and are not just looking at the fact you just downloading an excessive amount of information off the internet which is using up alot of their network resorces?

I think its more of a fair usage thing with comcast, a typical user might download lets say 1 gigabyte of information in a given month, and here you are downloading 100 gigabytes over the course of a few weeks.

I would consider it a warning and to not download as many movies in the future.

There is a breaking point with these ISP's where it doesn't become profitable to have you as a customer, and there is wording somewhere in their customer agreement that they can terminate your service over it.

Might want to consider switching to the comcast commercial service, since its on a different server and when your at home, most businesses are closed!

I don't think it has anything to do with pirate movies, but an assumption because what else can you download on the internet that is going to be that big of a file!
