I was over at Digg reading an article titled: “HBO is tattling to your ISP if you download torrents of The Sopranos“. I don’t understand how the “author” can consider this tattling. He was sharing copyrighted material, it’s illegal in case you didn’t know. He also states that he was caught “downloading”, which isn’t true either. Copyright holders catch people that are sharing the files. The letter from the copyright holders will state something like: The mentioned IP referenced at the date and time were “offering” downloads… His ISP, Charter Communications, sent him a harsh letter about their terms of service. Each ISP will handle DMCA complaints a little different, but I know we will call the customer to let them know about the complaint. Once we have notified the customer, we will email the copyright holder back explaining that we have notified the customer. No customer information is given out unless we are subpoenaed by a court of law. I do understand why the DMCA exist and that companies want to protect their material. However, I don’t agree how harsh companies can be…
