Copyright Notice

Forgot to turn on my VPN, and got a coyright infringement notice from Paramount Studios for downloading an episode of a TV show. Has anyone received one of these before? It looks lke just a warning, and a notification to Rogers. Do I need to do anything, or just ignore it?

I’ve had them in the past and nothing comes of it as long as it isn’t a persistent issue.

This used to be a thing in years gone by. They have your IP address, cannot compel Rogers to give them your name/address etc. They would demand thousands of dollars, happened to me once around 2004 maybe I recall. Dumped it in the recycle bin, never heard from them again.

It's happened to me a couple of times. I've ignored them.

I have received a few, usually happens when like you say, forget to start your VPN and you download a newer movie produced by paramount or sony etc. It probably annoys your provider for having to send you the notice but that’s about all. Stick to downloading porn and you will never have that problem it just infects your computer with STD’s

Sooo... would asking for sources of said 'alleged' ' d/l be some sort of infringement as well? And what VPN do you reco? Asking for that friend that everyone has.

Most of your security software comes with a VPN add on now a days, norton AVG etc. the free ones don’t work well with torrent D/L’s (bandwidth issues) You need to have a decent sec. Program running, torrent sites are notoriously dirty. As for which site to use well there are multiples available but things constantly change just google top ten torrent sites and you will figure it out, have a good popup blocker or you will be plastered with more shmoo than a lone girl in a football locker room

Anyone know why I get "access denied on this server" for some sites when using a VPN? And Leolist only shows the ads, but no pictures while the VPN is on.

For the denial problem The site probably knows the IP address of the VPN. If your VPN is using a US site you probably won’t see pictures, try a European VPN site or somewhere else around the world

I mean... is modern Star Trek, 'that' good to begin with? lol

It is the act of sharing or uploading the content that triggers these notices, and not the act of downloading. These notices are seldom acted upon and can largely be ignored. And yes.... A company providing VPN services can be sequestered to provide the source IP information using their services to perform nefarious activities.

That’s why you shouldn’t use an American VPN site, for example a Mexico server is harder for them to get access to any information

They exert pressure on foreign governments to take action. It not a new thing.

So seeding is more like to trigger a warning, than downloading?

Switched to foreign servers and can get the photos on leolist, but still can't access some European news sites.

I agree, but so many people seem to think they are invincible behind a VPN. Even hackers from early internet hopped though several vpns.

Google how to bind your bit torrent client to your VPN. That way if you forget to connect, or your connection drops, you're not not exposed.

Cock Throppled said: So seeding is more like to trigger a warning, than downloading? Click to expand... Yes, that's correct, esp if you're seeding a ton of media. It's great to give back by hosting the files but it's harder to stay anonymous if you're doing it wholesale.
